Here's the story: Doing some mowing and after about 30 minutes the engine starts dieing down and finally quits. Assumed I was out of fuel, so filled her up. No go. It will turn over and start to putter for about 5 to 10 seconds and then quits. Throttle won't do anything.
I read other posts and opened the breather on fuel injector and the thing was bone dry! Put 4 oz oil in, and then pulled each injector line and blew them out. Then changed fuel filter.
Try to start and it does the same sputtering and quits. Where should I look next? Just seems like fuel ain't getting there!
By the way, it had been close to overheating earlier in the day, and I added about 1/2 gallon of coolant. Seemed OK for another 30 minutes.

This sounds very similar to the problem I had several years ago. (I didn't have low oil problems, just the other stuff). I was mowing and towards the end of the job it starts losing power and missing and dies. Pump the fuel injector primer, starts and a few minutes or less sputters and dies.
My problem was, ( as Bob would say) fuel bugs. Clogged the screen filter in the bottom of the fuel tank and atop the sediment bowl. Cleaned the tank, screens, and fuel filter. Runs like a champ again. Always treat fuel now and haven't had a problem in almost two years.

Check your fuel sediment bowl, there is also a thimble screen inside the bolt holding the fuel line on the bottom of the injector pump, Inside the tank is a screen attached to the fuel sediment bowl, you may have to remove to get fuel flowing again, sounds like the diesel bugs got you.
