Did you get it fixed? You might have dirt floating in your fuel tank that gets sucked against the outlet when running. Then it floats away once the suction (not running) is released allowing some fuel to reach the carb again. Your symptom sounds more like a fuel issue to me.

Guess I am behind the curve of you guys. I just mowed first time yesterday.

Sounds like a fuel issue to me. Did you run the tractor over the winter or was it in storage? Do you use any fuel additives? Best thign to do is start with good fuel and filter. Maybe disconnect all or most of your fuel lines from the tank to the pump and blow some compressed air through...

Did you figure out the problem?????

I would consider making a small plate to place under the crack and pop rivet it to the fender. Use an aluminum rivet. Yes it would not be an invisible repair but it will strengthen it so it does not split open more if the glue fails. Really all you would see is the rivet head and those could be...

I am not totally certain what the exact problem is but you can start with simple things first. Sometimes even if you think your ok when you go back over it you find the problem sometimes. The black smoke should mean a rich condition. Usually because of lack of air. But when you put a load on...

Does it bog then smoke or smoke then bog? How long did it take after you did all the other work before it started running bad again? I assume the governer is working freely?

That is about the same information that I could find also. They are pretty basic machines anyway but it would still be helpfull to know if there is a source for parts.

X2 on the tirechains.com I ordered a set from them several years ago and they arrived promptly. Of course right now they are a little backed up. Very nice product they provided.

(I think I have the spelling correct) Does anyonw know about the Dettson Company? I have a line on a 7' snowblower that they made. It is used and would like to know if the company is still around or was bought out or ??? The owner of the blower said they were from Canada.

Nice truckl! I have a 2001. If it is an auto I would switch the cooler to a 2003 cooler from a 6.0 truck. It nearly doubles the cooling capacity. It is also a much taller cooler that actually gets airflow through it. I also went with a deep pan and Royal Purple fluid. But I did all this when...

http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum31/ that site plenty of info on th 7.3 The high pressure oil pump may be leaking from a plug on the underside of the pump. The pump is located on the top of the motor at the front. You will see plenty of oil in the valley if it is leaking there. You...

I use Warn on all my offroas jeeps. I like Ramsey also but I see way too many plugs go bad on them. but over all the most issues come form just general lack of maintenace from what I have seen. Both manufactures are well respected companies. I also reccomend using a synthetic line over a steel...

Yes I am certain I have 1/4 tank. I looked inside. And like I said there is nothing in the tank. I just took it out, cleaned applied a coating kit in it due to the seam starting to rust. Which that is what I felt was the issue in the first place causing the starving issue. But it is very...

no just wondered if they exist before I take it all apart looking for additional screens in the fuel system. The issue I have is if I have only about a 1/4 tank left of fuel while coming up my lane it will dcrease rpms because of lake of fuel. There is nothing in the tank and it has a new...
