Question:
I have a HUV4421GXP, 2008 with150 hours.
It ran fine till last summer it started to sputter then quit as soon as the engine came up to temp. The engine will restart after the key has been turned off then will very quickly do the same thing over again.
It will continue to run (barely) for a few seconds when the choke is pulled then quickly dies.
I first changed fuel filter, checked tank and lines for debris and then checked fuel pressure while running on both sides of pump and psi was 4-5 psi even when engine started to sputter.
I have eliminated the fuel solenoid in the carb (Kawasaki fh680d engine) and no change.
I am becoming extremely frustrated and would greatly appreciate any help locating the issue.
Thanks

Peter,
Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.
This may upset you because it's so simple but when the engine starts to sputter and act like it is going to die try removing the fuel cap and listen for a rush of air. You tank cap may not be venting correctly which would cause the problems you are having. If that is the problem then a simple fuel cap replacement would fix everything.
Thanks again for contacting Husqvarna.
