Mornin'
1991 MTD LT12.5-38 [mod. 131-662F118]. This tractor cuts out while mowing as if the key was shut off momentarily then recovers in a couple seconds or so. Gets worse the longer you mow with it. Eventually just stops, but starts right back up usually. Replaced the ignition switch and have ruled out the fuel system. Mowed yesterday with a timing light hooked up [took MUCH longer to act up with the timing light hooked up]. But when it did cut out the timing light went dead so it is definitely is a "no spark" condition. Any ideas? Is there one common spot at the engine to easily disconnect all the safety interlocks at the same time to rule them out?
Many thanks guys,
Mike
