10 May 2008 - 17:00Why does my lawn mower keep shutting off?

Nash M asked:

My lawn mower is about two years old. But when I mow it works fine for a while then shuts off. I’ve cleaned the filter, it has plenty of gas, and the oil is good. A friend said to spray a little WD-40 on it and it worked fine for a minute and then the same thing again. Can’t figure out exactly the problem is. Any answers or suggestions?
