    Ventrac 4200 sputters and cuts out after extended use. Seems to act up when hot. Thinking its fuel related, because you can keep it running with the choke half closed. We have replaced the fuel pump. Any help appreciated.

    We had the same problem many years ago. We tried different spark plugs and we rebuilt the carburetor with very little difference. We ended up replacing the carburetor and gaskets and we started using Star Brite Star Tron Enzyme Treatment and we noticed a huge difference with all of our older engines and how they run. The enzyme treatment is to combat the ethanol issue plaguing most older engine fuel issues. Also, always check your air filter. Once we had a problem with it sputtering and found out air filter was filthy and preventing motor from breathing properly.

    Next time the anomaly occurs, try removing the gas cap.
