My X500 with 5.0 Hrs will only run for a short while then dies. The only way I can get it re-started is to take the fuel line off and crank it till it starts. It looks like I have fuel coming out of the exhaust, could that be? anyway I am ****** and any help would be great we are in the middle of a blizzard and I need to plow.
HELP!!!! New X500 won't run

Understand we have to ask, but with only 5 hours have you read the owners manual and know the correct process for cold starting the engine? It also sounds a little like the engine is flooding. Are you using the choke when you start the engine? You will need to choke a cold engine and possibly hold the choke a few seconds when its this cold out to get the engine to stay running. Let us know....

Ok, you get 15 minutes. What are you doing for the 15 minutes? I would run it as hard as you can to keep the engine warm. It could be the carb icing up. The reason it runs again after sitting is the engine heat thaws the carb out.
Do you have fresh gas? Any chance there is moisture in your fuel supply? It may need a shot of heat additive in the gas. Would suggest you call the dealer first thing in the morning and describe your problem. Its been a few years since I wrenched on them. I'm not as familar with the current tractors and their engines.

I read about that in some TSB form john Deere so it is very serious matter, water condensation built up to the carb (he is just on top of the muffler)
Try to block the front grill with something and the air inlet on the side of the hood
