    BOBCAT 731 KEEPS DYING - WISCONSIN GAS ENGINE

    Hey Bill! Thank you for your reply. I will give him this information and let him check it out. With the way it stops abruptly, a sticking valve seems like a very possible reason. I will let you know how it goes! I’ll check that engine model number too! Thanks again! MUCH appreciated. patti
