Default 12HP Kohler in a 124 Dies ?

Hey Guys, my 124 normally runs like a top... Today after about 5 minutes on running it just died... Gave it 5 minutes, restarted no problem... then 5 minutes later, dead... I'm thinking it's electrical. I checked the connections and everything is tight... Not sure where to look... Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bernie

Sounds like a bad coil. They heat up and quit working then when they cool a little they will work again until they get hot.

As mentioned it could be a coil, or condenser
Loss of Fuel to carb,check for adequate flow when it stops.
Could be a stuck valve, does it back fire out the exhaust or intake?
Just simple no cost checks for you to do,
before throwing non needed parts at an unknown problem.
K.I.S.S,--- Keep it simple/stupid

Usually when I start thinking Electrical it turns out to be fuel. I have learned
to make sure all fuel issues are resolved first. There inexpensive fixes and
then even if it wasn't the initial issue, that variable is eliminated.
Spotless gas tank inside.
rebuilt carb.
fuel shutoff working correctly.
Good luck, you'll get it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
