Thank you to the OP for doing what was suggested without questioning or arguing. So much of the time it takes us about 20 posts to convince someone that a dirty fuel system is the issue.

Maybe because it's a PITA to do when you have to remove the fender pan just to get at the tank and most of the bolts are rusted after 20 +- years?

If fixing old machines was easy, women and children would do it too.
(No offence DeltaCub. Your in the minority. )

I dunno.... I just come from a different view point I guess. A bad day of working on a Cub is usually better than a good day working on things I have spent my lifetime working on. Even stuff on a Cub that is a PITA really isn't that bad compared to say, changing heater core on a Lexus. Or changing a rotor belt on a plugged combine in the middle of bean harvest, on a hot day in October. (Bean dust is itchy, and it's worse when your sweating.) Or fixing a blown hydraulic hose in the belly of a backhoe on the coldest day in February in a somewhat frozen field of mud, while it's snowing and blowing. See.... it really isn't that bad to pull the fenders a fuel tank.

X2! It's like therapy

For me the issue wasnt having to do the work (ie..removing tank, cleaning everything, installing new fuel lines, etc.) I actually enjoy working on almost any older vehicle. MUCH more fun than newer cr@p.

It is the timing of the repair! ... lol

I had a million things to get done, with my Saturday all planned out. How quickly my plans changed when the Cub decided to thro this fit.

I have a set of the Meg-Mo blades on this unit, and need it to mulch leaves later this week.

Again....thanks for the "spot on" repair suggestion!!!
