I spoke too soon!!
I thought I had the issue resolved but today it reared its head again. I started my tractor and it fired right up. I began mowing and after less than 5 minutes the engine stumbled and stalled. As before I twisted the key and it fired right up again but within a few seconds the engine RPMs dropped and stalled. After a couple of tries the engine seemed to stabilize and I tried engaging the mower deck again but a minute later engine dies again. This happened a few more times so I decided to head for the barn. Once in the barn I removed thebside panel and started the engine observing the fuel in the filters level stays constant but the engine keeps stalling. I would think that if it was a fuel starvation issue I would see the fuel levels drop in the filters. I removed the fuel cap to make sure it's not the blocked vent issue again but that didn't help either. The fact that I can restart the engine immediately after it stalls makes me think is not a fuel starvation problem. Correct me if I am wrong.
