I have owned a 175 since new. Mine did what you say as did most of them. Many people traded them or junked them with the idea they were a lemmon. Deere actually had a recall campaign which some engine cowling was changed which is what was done to mine and it has worked wonderfully ever since. No $ charge either because of warranty. Probably close to 10 years ago now. The original cowling kept to much heat in thus vaporizing the fuel.Some of them you see where they have been hacked to serve the same purpose. This is one time you may want to consult Deere since it was a known problem in that model.Side note . They also had a starting problem which led people to think the electric starter was bad or the battery was weak. Neither is the case . I do not remember what the solution was but it is in the electrical circuit somewhere. Deere is also aware of this. When I complained about it they knew instantly how to fix it because of all of them being that way after a certain age.
