Well, I pulled the fuel pump; didn't find anything too indicitave of torn diaphrams or gaskets, so I put it back together and pulled the carb apart again. THERE I found more gunk that must have come from the bottom of the fuel tank after the initial run time from when it had been sitting for the 2+ years. I cleaned everything again, and have put almost an hour on it letting the boys drive it around the yard at 1/3 throttle (they were happy to help) with no additional issues. Like was said, I check the oil before every start and it has been fine to this point. Hopefully, it was just a case of running out all the sluge gas and crap from the out-of-service period. I really do like the Series II thus far, I can't wait for the grass to grow a bit so I can put a load on her and see how she does.
Thanks for all the input, hopefully smooth sailing from here!!
