Fuel pump or solenoid - 1641

My 1641 is having intermittent starvation problems. Cranks and runs fine. Might run an hour, might run 2 minutes. Then begins to die. I can nurse it along with the choke for a minute or two and it will pick back up only to start dying in another minute or two.

When this happens there is still visible in the fuel filter, but the bowl on the carb is low enough to be effectively empty. The fuel filter is about 6 months old. I've cleaned the carb myself and I'm comfortable it is not a dirty carb issue.

Since it's intermittent, how do I determine whether it's a weak/failing fuel pump or the solenoid? I will replace the pulse line to the pump just in case that's it but there are no visible cracks.

Thanks.

Jbo

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
