Hello
I have a 5 year old GT 235 and I am having a problem. I attached a few pictures so you can have a look at the tractor, but I think maybe the tractor is vapor locked.
It had a new fuel filter installed in November, and I replaced the fuel pump today ( December 14th ) but the tractor still continues to have the same problem.
I start the tractor and it runs for about 20 or 30 minutes and then it starts to idle rough and stalls out, very much like it is running out of gas, even though the tank is full. I then have to wait about 10 minutes before I can start the tractor back up and then it only runs for a few minutes and shuts down again.
If you look at the fuel filter, you can see there is barely any gas in the line, and this is why I replaced the pump today, thinking the vacuum from the pump wasnt working properly. After changing the pump I am still having the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks - Mike
