Turned out to be the PTO switch. To make sure it wasn't a deck problem my son took the belt off and engaged the PTO. He said it ran for a few seconds and then died. He said the switch didn't feel right, like it was catching near the full out position. When he had me go out with him it started...

I just double checked and both blades turn free. My son took the belt off and checked to make sure all the pullies turned freely. The belt is installed correctly.

42" Raptor Model #937847, Serial #17115748. 21.5 HP Kawasaki FR651V. Mower starts and drives but dies immediately when the button is pulled to engage the PTO/blades. Also, the deck bucks fairly violently at the same time. With the switch on, motor not running, there is an audible 'click'...

Typo on my part. Amazon listing says the pump is a 49040-7001 but the inlet/outlet/pulse line fittings on the one I got are the same as the 49040-8002 and matched the old one on my engine. BTW, the new pump is defective. Son checked all the lines for blockage and, finding them all clear, put...

Tiger Smal Engine, I'm not getting ANY fuel through the pump or even into the filter. Star Tech, I'll ask him but I'm sure my son would pull the dust caps if there were any on the pump. I did take a look and the lines are routed right. I checked the listing on Amazon. The carb is listed as...

New carb, fuel pump, filter and elbow/grommet/pickup tube. Replaced the filter on the tank pressure relief lines. New air filter. Still not picking up fuel. ?????????????????????? We're lost.

Thanks for the tip on installation. My son is doing the work. I'll pass it along to him.

My model # is 937847. I called a local Hiustler dealer this morning. The elbow still isn't available alone but it is available as a combination package including the grommet and pickup tube. All new parts for about $31. The Austin dealer has 2 locations doesn't have one. (They moved from...

The plastic elbow in the fuel tank of my 42" Raptor broke off where it goes into the pickup tube. I finally found a parts diagram and it does not show the elbow or the grommet as separate parts. Do they expect me to lay out $150 or so to replace a $5 piece of plastic? when the mower was new...
