I have a relatively new 241cm with about 8-10 tanks through it.
2 days ago it stalled while using it (shortly after starting) and I couldn't get it running again. It would sputter for 3-4 rotations of the engine then die.
My neighbor managed to get it started by flooring the gas while starting it (without applying the choke). Once running it stopped and restarted fine. I did the reset procedure (90 on start position, stop, start, 60+ seconds in run position, stop, start, 5 cuts)
Since then it's been starting and running fine. But it stalls while idling now. In 15 minutes of using it, it might stall 4-5 times.. Always while idling.
Any ideas? I can take it to a dealer, but I'd rather fix it myself if there's something simple. I don't like dealers touching my stuff.. And I didn't buy from them so I'm guessing I'll get a grumpy attitude.
