it starts when cold, then runs good for a while, then when it heats up, it cuts out, it will start after, but then just keeps cutting out or stalling. could it be like a 'vapour lock' or a fuel blockage, it also backfires. have found with the backfire, that need to have engine runing on idle to empty out the fuel from the gas chamber. which will help decrease the backfiring problem. still backfires though. would take it back to the shop, but cant afford it at this stage, so have been google some ideas on what the problem could be. or to identify the cause of the problem! anyone got any ideas or advice please!

Very vague description of your "ride". Is it a Scooter, Motorbike, Car, Van. Truck, Boat, petrol, diesel, carby, fuel injected. 1950's or 2011!

What brand of mower and what engine is it equipped with!

I reckon its the coil I have had this problem multiple times on a few friends mowers etc. They break down under heat.

castle garden 17.5hp twin, so it could be the coil! was going to replace the fuelcap, clean out the petrol tank, get a new carb put in, change the filter, new sparky, but its just had a service about 2months ago when brought it.

is there a website where you can download a manual for a ride on!
castlegarden seems to be a craftsman based model, you should be able to find the specific model in there somewhere

Take the fuel cap off when it cuts out and listen for a whooshing noise as air rushes in. It could be a tank venting problem.

Take it to someone who knows what theyre doing. The key goes into the ignition switch the spark comes from the ignition coil.

If you bought from a Branded dealer it would have been well serviced
If bought elsewhere I would take the word "service" with a grain of salt These came with a few different engines,could only be something minor (choke/leads/plug) If it was a Dealer you got it from ,they will know exactly what your problem is from your description or a look
