Larry Chamberlain 28 #1 Posted yesterday at 02:30 PM So I thought I had the fuel issue fixed was plowing yesterday and it was running like crap so got it home and the old shut off was full of crap again so I put my new gromet in and new shut off with fuel filter got back to the office was here for about half hour 45 minutes and the tractor is acting up again but as a fuel choked out and pull the choke and it would want to run again so it shut off went to start it back up wont hardly turn over which it did this yesterday also so I had to jump the battery anyone run into anything like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 63,777 #2 Posted yesterday at 02:37 PM If the fuel cap vent is clogged the engine pulling gas from the tank will develop a slight vacuum in the tank that the fuel pump can't overcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 830 #5 Posted yesterday at 04:45 PM Not sure if you’ve done it yet, but you might just need to clean your carburetor up. Soak it in some Berrymans for a few days and clean your jets out. I had the same issue with my 418. When you shut off was full of junk some of it may have dislodged and made it to your carb. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dandan111 58 #7 Posted yesterday at 05:26 PM Years ago I had a snowmobile I could never get running right. I finally took the carb off and took it to my local shop. They put it in a sonic washer and that took care of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
