honda 2113 tractor

gr1028 · 12-14-2007, 04:15 PM

got a question, I have honda 2113 tractor. about 5 years old. last year started having a problem. Starts fine, runs fine but after 45 minutes or so, suddenly dies and won't start again until its cooled off. later that day, starts fine and does the same thing. seems like the hotter the weather, the faster it would die. could this be an ignition problem? Thanks for any suggestions!

Ignition is likely. How does it shut off? Does it sputter and choke until it dies, or does it shut off like you've turned the key off?

shuts off fine. there is a hesistation when I start it ...like the battery is dead for a second or so and then kicks in.

Does it use a coil? If so, see if the insulation is burnt/gone. If it is, most likely when it gets hot, water seeps in there... Thus it stops, until the water has evaporated...

Check spark right after it stops.

Actually, I meant when it quits on you, how does it die? Sputtering or quickly?

it shuts off quickly when I turn it off..but, when it gets to the point where it shuts itself off, it sometimes backfires and shuits off rough. of course, it's going full throttle then though.

You almost certainly have an exhaust valve sticking when the engine gets hot
cure is strip head and clean valve stems

Are you sure that the fins on the engine are fairly clean? Clogged fins/fan will cause the engine to over heat.

Any way you can spin the engine, by hand, when it dies? Possible bad piston.
