My John Deere mower starts and turns off quickly. I changed the filter and plug.

There are many reasons the mower stops working, however, from your description, it is very difficult to diagnose the problem. You can contact the manufacturer for help at the website below or request a service company check the mower and give recommendations for you to consider.

See if the gas cap is plugged,the vents plug really easy,just use a pin or a paper clip and open the vent in the gas cap...Good luck..
This was the fix for me. When I opened the gas cap I could hear the air being sucked in. So the next time the mower started to stall I opened the gas cap at the engine picked right back up.
I had the same problem. Replaced the fuel pump , fuel filter etc. finally I gave up had a knowledgeable man take a look. Result. He said fuel cap vent plugged up. So simple it made me angry that I hadnt checked on that issue.
Thanks for this. My husband found the mower would start and then cut out, start/cut out. I replaced the fuel filter with no results then remembered your post. Noticed the fuel cap could be clicked just a tad more closed .. that did the trick!
Love a cheap fix!
