My Ariens riding mower is hard to start. I pour a little gas in carb and it starts. After I get it started and start to mow, it suddenly stops after about 10 min. I let it cool off and then it starts up no problem. I then mow for 5 min and then it suddenly stops again.

sounds like a coil prob as cutting out when warm and being able to re start when it has cooled off when it cuts out check for spark
