John Deere LA150 not gas

I did the tune up kit, replaced the filter, kinda wanna get it ready to sale and dont want to sale a non-running mower. Gas is getting to filter, but even after 2 years of minimal use it's still stopping.

I am getting gas all the way to the filter but not beyond and have replaced the filter twice.


Attached pics before:







Do add to this is does start for max for 5-10 seconds and slowly putters out....
again its been sitting for two years... so be nice:tongue:

any help would be appreciated I am trying to do this for my pops who doesnt have much time left.

drain gas tank & put fresh gas in along with fuel stabilizer per instructions on bottle,

Remove fuel line from carb and blow with compressed air back towards tank. O just get new fuel line from auto parts store and replace. Clean carb.

Also remove engine cover and clean under it. While you are at it clean the engine bay with air not water.

Sounds like low pressure to me. Check the fuel line pressure, replace the pump if necessary.

If you've replaced the filter (properly?) and blown out the hoses, it's low pressure. And low pressure can be caused by a faulty pump or clog somewhere in the system. check to see if there is a screen in the fuel tank, sometimes that can get clogged or gummy. Also check if your fuel is alright. Did it get gummed up and contaminated?

I have done this, (drained the tank and ran some Mechanic in a Bottle thru it with some improvement it will start for about 15-30 seonds then die.
