starting probs

[junkmustang]

this mustang has been running pretty good till a few days ago. its a 1997 mustang 2040 I hit the switch, runs for about 5 to 10 seconds and shuts off. I have changed both hydrolic filters, the air filter and the fuel filter, as it really needed it. and still does the same thing. was hoping someone out there can help me with this problem. thank you.

Does it restart right away or does it act like it is out of fuel. Does your machine have safety switches on the seat beat or seat bar? Does it have electric fuel shut off or pull cable

it hits every time, runs for 10 seconds and shuts off... it does have the seat and seat belt safety switches and I even removed them to try to start it by hand. still the same thing

Any warning lights?
If the time is the same, i'd lean towards the fuel shut off solenoid. If the solenoid is bad, it could run while the pull coil is on, then die when the hold is to take over.
Is there an arm that goes to the solenoid? if so, cable tie or wire to hold it in the run position, see if the machine stops after 10 seconds. If it keeps running, the issue is the solenoid or the controls for it.
