Hi,

I have a 6 year old MTD ride on mower with a Tecumseh 11.5 hp engine which has developed a fault.It starts and revs up and down perfectly but conks out when moved, either when you drive it or physically push it.It usually restarts perfectly afterwards(by turning the key).
I've checked the various electrial safety switches which all seem to be fine,the fuel has been replaced and is flowing fine.I'm wondering now if it's a problem with the carb?
Thanks.
