Well, after several stalls and cleaning out the carburetor, I finally broke down and removed the gas tank and lookie lookie what I found.
First I must say that before I ever started the M18 that I put in the tractor, I had drained and replaced all of the fuel lines, removed the float/bowl assembly, cleaned it, and I added seafoam and startron to the gas that I put in to run through the engine........well, two times this thing stalled on me and I removed the bowl and cleaned it out again.......the fuel filter was not catching all of the crap....BUT WHERE WAS IT COMING FROM ???
So, not wanting to go through this breakdown experience again, I pulled everything apart and here is what it was...absolutely cruddy valve and the fuel filter had caught a little more this time but not enough. Also found some "other" debris in the tank from the previous owner.
Bought new valve, new tank valve bushing, new bowl gasket, "Massen-gilled" the tank REALLY good. Tomorrow, I am putting it all back together, flush all again etc.
Might be worth draining out your fuel tanks guys and check them out.
