Default update on fuel problems

Hey all Been wondering how I could be a part of this forum other then just being a guy who post a question now and then. Figure I am one of the least knowledgeable guys on here. The answer I arrived at was maybe I will just share where I am at on this 1862 once in a while. In relation to my fuel issues. Took the fuel tank off today, tank had all kinds of crap in it including
old rubber grommet material from the low fuel sensor I replaced last summer.
Regarding my thinking I would rebuild carb, maybe not now. I had to put the carb back on anyway so I could get it running to raise the lift assembly for the mower deck that was still on from when it died last summer. Should have thought of that before I pulled it I reckon oops. Figure this project will be kinda like tearing into a house remodel, never know what you'll find. Where the 2 tank outlets are, someone has replaced the 2 bushings that go between the tank and the fuel shutoff valves with Valve Stems, figure they must have had some leaking problems at some point. Guess I will leave that one alone as it didn't leak. Will replace all fuel lines and put er back together and take off
I hope. Thanks again for the forum here. Its awesome Ken
