JD 445 fuel pump/ignition problems

08/16/09

A couple of days ago, while mowing ,running at full rpm, my 2001 445 lost power for 1 to 1 1/2 seconds, backfired and continued running for 5 to 10 seconds then quit completely. Tried several times under numerous conditions to restart and it would not. Engine turns over but no ignition.

Checked spark and though bright daylight, saw none. Sprayed small amount of gas into cylinder to see if fuel problem and did not get any ignition, however, cannot hear fuel pump run at all when switch is first turned on.

Started electrical trouble shooting by checking all fuses, F5 power, F4 lights and F3 fuelpump fuse and all are OK. Checked voltage at connector going into fuel pump and coming out of fuel pump relay and all seems OK.

I originally thought it was not getting fire to spark plugs but not sure if it is fuel or ignition problem or other.

Any ideas??

Thanks for all help,

Jerry
