I have had fuel starvation problems with this thing since I got it,
It was running on gravity flow.
Part of the problem was the gas tank is full of crud and it's a fairly big job to pull the tank and clean it on these platform jobs.
Put a new inline filter on it and opened the carb a couple of times to inspect but that didn't help.
Last weekend I tried a test tank on top of the fender but still no go.
So this weekend I added a small electric fuel pump to it and tested it that way.
It fired right up and ran great so I put the back blade on it and graded the driveway which was badly rutted.
Kind of a Jerry Rigged looking affair but it ran fine. Next weekend I'm going to put the bush hog on it and for the first time, see what the thing will do.
Test tank holds about 3.5 gallons so I should get a good test on it on that much fuel.
Messing with the back blade got me sick of the SOS.
