2) runs for about 5 minutes and quits; clogged fuel filters; not your stated problem

2) the stealth filter in the elbow of your carb

3) the secret cylindrical screen filter ontop of your fuel turnoff valve that you have to REMOVE the valve to get to and have all the gasoline leak down your elbow into your armpit. It usually has melted by now and has clogged up your down pipe into the glass filter bowl. In which case you must replace the ENTIRE fuel valve assy ($20 cheap)

Tip: check your fuel filters by removing the 7/16 plug at the bottom of your carb. Gas should flow like an old man peeing into your glass canning jar. Heres a chance to also check for water in your gasoline.

Reminder: ALWAYS turn your fuel control valve OFF, otherwize your carb float can sometimes not float and fill up your engine with gravity flow gasoline and cause hydraulic lock of the pistons and nasty things to your engine parts..... ..... respectfully, Dell

Filters for me seem to have a mind of their own. They always pass good quantities of fuel when I am looking at them. In the 85-degree heat and far away from tools they stop passing fuel. Had to makeshift with a stick to dislodge the junk from the in tank filter while in the field a week ago. Less than a week before the glass bowl had been cleaned and the carburetor drain flow checked.

The N-Engine uses so little battery power to run the sparkies that you could have been living on your 12 volt battery for months for sparkies. This is specially true, iff'n you were jump-starting your tractor from another battery.

When you replaced your very dead 12 volt battery, there is a really strong possibility that you miss-wired your new battery cables or didn't clamp yer battery cable tight on the new SMALLER 12 volt battery post.

Just recently, the 12 volt battery posts have become a slightly SMALLER DIAMETER and the OLD battery molded clamp won't clamp tight to the post. You may think you're tight but you ain't. Inspect your battery clamps for fit. The clamp ends thru the bolt should NOT TOUCH when clamped on the battery posts.

Iff'n ya can't clamp tight, spread your battery clamp and file some soft lead from the clamp space so your bolt will completely clamp tight..... ....Dell

Ah.. when you say that you had "no fire", does this mean the spark plugs had no fire? Did the starter attempt to turn over? Do you have a negative ground?

Sorry for the questions, but we need to start somewhere. John,PA
