15 minutes, then quit,,, is usually a clogged gas cap vent,,

Try it with the gas cap off,,

If it were mine, and still did it,,
I would set up a nurse tank (it would look like an IV bottle) and feed the carb directly, no tank, or pump, involved.

Only if it then runs, can you start looking for a problem.

I bought a two year old tractor, the FIRST thing I did was empty the fuel tank, flush it, and fill with clean fuel.
Now, I admit, that was a diesel, but, I did not like the way the fuel "looked"
The tractor ran MUCH better after cleaning the tank, and changing the fuel,,,

Just curious..... when the engine quits, how long before it fires up again?

I really don't know exactly. Twice I had to push it back to my shed and maybe an hour later it would start up. Being that it only happened the last 3 times I don't have an accurate time frame.

I'll give the gas cap a try first. I would think if the pump was bad it shouldn't act like that, work then not work but I'm far from being an expert on these kind of matters.

Ran into this exact symptom of run a while then sit for an hour to start etc that
you are describing. After these good fellas gave me the same advice to
make sure all was spic and span. I pulled and cleaned the tank replaced
all fuel line ( cheap fix) and cleaned all thing gas excluding carb and
fuel pump. That was 4 years ago and it hasn't missed a beat. My opinion
as a student here at OCC is clean clean clean. Then worry about the other
stuff.

Thanks for that info Ken and to all the others for there help! I'll put a new fuel filter on and then drain the tank and put on or blow out the fuel line. The fuel filter definitely needs changed. Hopefully that will be the problem before I go and put on a fuel pump.

Well I tried it with the gas cap off. I put a new fuel line from the tank to the pump and new filter. I put a new fuel pump on (from fleabay) and it did the same thing so I put the original back on. It still only runs for about 20 min and thats it. When it quits the fuel filter hardly has any gas in it. So the only thing that I can think of next is the electric pump unless somebody has any other remedies.

I used a low 1-2 psi Facet #40177 in my 782 with a KT-17 Series II and wouldn't have it any other way!

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.
