Ah....I can see that now. 100% the the fuel filter I installed yesterday had no caps out of the box. Can't say the same for the one I installed back in June just because of the fog of time, so I'll pay the idiot tax, but the problem arose ahead of June which was what led me to change the...

Gasket sealant purchased. Put all the hoses together again and I've got gas spurting out of the new pump. Cool, connect the last hose to the carb, nothing. OK, I'm all in at this point, what are the odds of a blockage in the hose from the pump to the carb. Take all of the top unit off...

Following up. I connected an air compressor to the line from the pump through the filter and back to the tank (with the cap off). Completely clear. Saw evidence of fumes and spray blowing out the open gas cap. I then sealed up the tank and siphoned (by mouth) gas from the tank toward the...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I like the air compressor idea so I think I'll start there as I'm not entirely certain how I can seal my mouth on the tank to pressurize the line orally, but I'm game for anything at this point. Regarding running the engine on one cylinder, my small engine guy...

I'm going to bump this one time. The old YTH23V48 is used only for snow throwing, so it's now or never on getting it up and running. Everything in the above post is still accurate. I went out again today and made sure all of the lines are clear (no blockage or impediment), fresh fuel, oil at...

I have an old YTH23V48 that I leave in storage with the snowthrower attachment in place for winter use. I start it up once a month to stay on top of any issues. This month, she wouldn't start for me. Cranks fine (battery is holding a full charge). Won't turn over. I notice the fuel filter...

I guess I've been lucky with my YTH, I never needed manufacturer's service. Over the life of that tractor, I only called on my local small engine guy twice. That's the reason I went with Husqy again. My retailer is out of state, but will be my next call. While I might feel bad for them...

Thanks for the quick and thoughtful reply. When I indicated that I bypassed the sensor, I did so via the "Toothpick" method (using small pieces of wood to prevent the shorting strip from making contact). It is my understanding that this gives the same result as removing the shorting strip...

Newbie here...appreciate anyone that's looking at my post. Brand new (and I mean, just off the skid) TS148X. Bought to replace my YTH, which was a workhorse but died in the fall, and I was told the TS148X is on the same frame so I can reuse the snow thrower and all my accessories. Anyway...
