Have a 18 hp Kholer engine (model # CV492)on a 42" Craftsman lawn tractor

starts to stall and lose power. *Does restart but repeats problem. *This
was the first mow of the season. *Had run all gas out for winter. Used
fresh gas to start. *Know I need a new battery as I can put a charger on
the current (orginal) battery and get mower started but should have
anything to do with the stalling? *Changed oil and oil filter and air
filter. *Have not changed gas filter or spark plug. *Please advise, Thanks.

Better replace that battery, your probably cooking you charging
circuit, with it trying
to charge your bad battery,false economy. Don't know the charging
circuit, but maybe its stealing
the current to make ignition system operate. It probably the fuel
system.
