jellyghost 378 #26 Posted August 29, 2019 Thank you everybody. Somewhere on this site, I found someone talking about installing a marine ball hand pump to prime the normal fuel pump. I installed one, and it is awesome! It runs/starts better than ever. After cleaning the bowl and installing the hand pump, this issue seems to be resolved. I am still not sure how that explains all of the symptoms, but I am happy to be mowing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
