I'm new here...found the site trying to solve a fuel filter issue I have with my JD yard tractor. All help is certainly appreciated.
I have a JDSTX38 hydro. Had it serviced last week...new blades, oil change, fuel line leak fixed. They also replaced the filter with one that has a clear "bulb" and a bright yellow filter. When mowing yesterday, the engine, after running like a charm for 10-15 minutes, would all of a sudden start a chug-a-lug sound, then cut off. I turned off the fuel line, disconnected it at the fuel filter, then opened the line for gas to go in the bulb. After doing that a time or two until the bulb was real close to full, the tractor start again. It would run 10-15 minutes, then I'd have to go through the ordeal again. Any ideas?
