Brandon, one place to check is inside the fuel tank. If this is a new problem, you said you were mowing when it occured, you may have dislodged a piece of debris from inside the tank and it settled over the connection from the tank to the fuel line. (Not sure if you have a sediment bowl) but if you do, work back from the carb and check each item...gas line (Clear of clogs), sediment bowl clean and screen clear, look inside the tank with a flashlight and jiggle the tractor, if you see debris on the bottom you may want to drain the tank. Let it air out so all remaining gas evaporates. Then make a homemade tube out of 1/2" pvc pipe about 18" long (irrigation pipe works good) adapted up in size until it fits in the end of your wet-or-dry vac hose and then suck all the loose stuff out of the tank. (cut the end of the pvc that will go into the tank at an angle so you can get right down to the bottom of the tank. Don't use any metal clamps on the hose connections as you want nothing that can cause a spark in or around the tank. Use electrical or duct tape to seal it with. Eventually you may have the etch and seal the tanks interior. Good luck.
