Question:

i have a RZ5426 zero turn mower with 69 hours on it. after running for approx. 1 hour it will start acting as if its low on fuel and wanting to shut down. if i turn off the blades it perks some some, but will eventually die within a few minutes. checking fuel level shows its OK. air filter appears OK. i put in a new spark plug. i have drained and suctioned out the tank. if i let it cool off (not run) for 30 minutes or so, it will run fine for 10 minutes or so until it starts to act up again. it will start each time after it dies. i have had it into the local husky dealer and no luck so far. any thoughts from others to help me out. thanks, david

I found that my fuel lines were clogged. There was a bunch of bugs/debris at the bottom of my tank clogging the lines. Best way to check is to pull the line off the back of the fuel pump and turn the motor over. If nothing/ very little comes out, pull the tank off, flush the tank by pulling the bottom fitting and straining it into a gas tank, reassemble enough to check and make sure that was it. If that was the problem, then it's solved!
