Have you ever cleaned the tank and inspected the fuel lines and valve bungs?
It not, it would be a good idea to do that.


After all these years the lines get hard as a rock crack & start to deteriorate somewhat internally.
The oil and filter was last changed about a year ago, I was planning on changing it again soon. I have never done anything with the fuel system yet. I bought the tractor 3 years ago, the PO told me he had the tank cleaned about a year before that. Shining a flashlight in there it looks clean. I assume they changed the filters too. I have new ones so I will put them on. The lines don’t look very old, but it wouldn’t hurt to put new ones on. I have had issues on other things with them disintegrating inside. I will also check for water, but I doubt that’s it.
