Installed 2 electr. clutches in a riding mower in last 2 weeks. both quit working,from over-heat,in a few hrs.

Question

when the first electro magnetic clutch went out, I replaced the switch at the same time I installed the new clutch to make sure that wasn't the real problem. The mower operated fine for several hours before the new clutch ceased to function. Upon inspection, the clutch had over-heated and the electromagnetic coil wiring had,again, heat failed,like the first clutch ? Can anyone advise me?

Answer 1

Two thoughts, wrong or faulty replacement clutches or voltage too high
