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.

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.
