Subject: JD 318 garden tractor wont stay running


NCSD
JD 318 garden tractor with onan engine is giving me trouble. Engine starts good and runs good until you engage the clutch to turn on the mower deck. once you hit that switch, engine immediately dies. Tried taking the belt off and that helped. With the belt off, engaging the clutch will make engine sputter for a few mins and eventually die. Battery is new. Power to the coil is a good 13.5 V at all times. Plugs are firing. This acts like a fuel problem as before this clutch thing was happening, when running the engine at high idle for more than about 15 mins it would start running rough and sputtering. I read this has a fuel pump...but im not sure how it works because its not electric or mechanical... it is about the size of a deck of cards and just has like a 3/8 heater hose going to it. Not sure if that's the problem. Any help here is appreciated! I'm awfully green when it comes to small engines.
