Gas or diesel? If its gas, first check your fuel cap to be sure its venting. Then check the fuel pump to be sure it's working. If those check out, drain the tank, pull the fuel line off of the sediment bowl and take the sediment bowl out of the tank. Then clean the passage of the sediment bowl. Also clean the fuel tank and fuel line. A friend has a 1650 that would die after a few minutes and he found Asian beetles in the sediment bowl passage. A dirty transfer tank started the problem.

If your carburetor gets frosty, you may have a leaking intake manifold. That can cause the tractor to die, but it would not restart quickly.

Check the fuel cap, have you replaced it recently? Many of the non vented caps get mixed up with the vented caps. The vented ones are for the single tanks.

The non vented went on the main tank under the hood, and then a vented cap on each of the fender tanks, if you have them.

Sounds like a fuel system issue, I would check for obstructions like a bug in the lines or the sediment bowl, could be in the tank too. Is it fairly consistant on run time or does it seem to vary?

Take the return line off the pump and see if there is any junk in it. When the governor ring in the injection pump gets old they come apart and clog that line. Usually they slow down before they shut off, but I still that’s your problem. If you had a fuel restriction before the pump I think you would have to reprint to start it. Those pumps aren’t particularly expensive endive to rebuild.

I agree,

The fuel case pressure adjusts the timing of the pump. With the drain plugged it adjusts the timing so much it dies. Pressure bleeds off and it will restart.

Govenor drive ring is failing. Not to expensive to fix.

Clog's sediment screen and when engine dies it float's off. Start engine and run's til it plug's again. Treatment of the fuel would cure it possibly. Bio-cide is a good treatment.

No sediment bowl pr screen on these unless someone added one. I’m betting it’s the return line is plugged, I’ve had to break the glass ball in the return line on two of them. Ran fine after that, but the pump is gonna have to be replaced sometime.

If there is no fuel coming out the return line coming out of inj pump then take the fitting off the top of the pump and break the small glass ball in the fitting, it’s a temp fix, but I know of some guys that have gotten another 300-400 hours out of the pump before it completely failed.

My bet it is the governor ring has disintegrated, it will look like coffee grounds that plugs the return line,, that's what is causing the problem
