AMT 626 quits when hot and will not restart
Hi all,
I have an AMT 626 with the Kawisaki FE290D engine. Recently while running at idle and full speed it dies and will not start back until cool. I have already replaced the coil and plug and have cleaned the carb. I was wondering if the ignition module that sits on top of the engine case could case this problem?
Thanks

AMT 626 quits when hot and will not restart
Gatoraider thanks for the quick reply. One thing to note, when my AMT died I took the ignition module loose and pulled it out and away from the engine case to see if it would start, no go. Then I noticed it was self grounding, so I held it to the engine case and it fired up. This led me to think it was a bad ground, so I made a new ground wire and led it from the ignition module to the primary ground on the engine case from the battery. It started up nicely then. But, I was out in the yard yesterday and it was at idle and it died and would not start back, so I guess the ground didn' really help. Also, the insulator on the bottom of the ignition module looks great, and I also fashioned a 1/16" thick piece of rubber to put between the insulator and the module to help block out the heat. I guess the module could not be completely bad yet but on its way out. What do you think?

Thanks gatoraider. Yea I already put in a new coil, so I guess I will try the ignition module. Hopefully that will fix it. Would a bad module cause my AMT to run ruff at part throttle? When I depress the throttle a little when in gear and the motor is under load it seems to sputter, but when it gets up in the rpm's it smooths out. Does the module control the timing and fuel? It has been sputtering and back-firing for about 5 seconds after I turn it off.

Well the ignition module did the trick, runs like new!! Gatoraider, do you know anything about adjusting the brakes on this model? They have relatively new pads, but it is a little difficult to stop. Although, my hydraulic lift reservoir was leaking on the right caliper so I got that fixed and I am going to spray it down with some brake cleaner. That may make a difference. IF you do know any adjustment techniques I would appreciate your input. Thanks.

Ok, so I may have to take the plastic cover/gaurd off of the pedal assembly to be able to adjust the equalizer and thumb screws. Also, my hydraulic reservoir was ok, the bolt at the bottom kept coming loose and letting fluid slosh out from around the main upper o-ring. Put a little aluminum thread lock on it and no more leaking. I am assuming the fluid was causing the bolt to loose its grip. I will give the brake adjustment a try, I may have more questions. Again, thanks for all your help.

Gatoraider. So I took the cover off of the lower brake pedal assembly and found the equalizer and thumb screws. I pushed the pedal and the cables are not being pulled equally. So I went to the calipers and tightened the pad adjustment screws all the way till the pads were touching the disc. Then I went back up front and adjusted the thumb screws to be the same. Then went back to the calipers and loosened the adjustment screws back off the disc. Then when I checked at the pedal the cables were still not pulling equally. Do you think uneven pad where could cause this? Thanks.
