I own a Craftsman riding lawn mower with a model number of 917.272420 and a kohler engine on it with a model number of CV492S. I have been having problems where my mower will run for 15 minutes then will run out of gas in the filter.
I just replaced the fuel filter. I'm not sure if it was the problem with my lawn mower though. Before replacing it the fuel filter would be full when I would start mowing but about 20 minutes into mowing it would be dry or empty. I checked online for filters and the it seems I may have had a briggs stratton filter on the mower which was designed for mowers with a fuel pump. Is it likely that was the reason it was emptying since my mower has no fuel pump and is gravity fed? If not then what could be causing the fuel filter to be not filling up? I have cleaned the carburetor already.
