Oh, I see. Yes, I can see how that can happen. A trickle of fuel can flow right through the filter undetected and allow the motor to run fine.

Sorry, I only see "Report Edit"

This reminds me of a line from the Scott Pilgrim movie... "The movie is much better than the movie..." :LOL: Sorry I don't know what you mean; I only have twins to compare this one to. Got it. I do have a spare tank from another mower I can use. The more I think about it the more I think...

The cap on the fuel tank? I did try that, no change. The fuel tanks are higher than the carb, yes. If I disconnect the fuel inlet from the pump, gas does flow down into the filter then into the can I use to catch the fuel. It flows pretty fast. It appears to be. Hard to get a good look at...

Okay, good news. The fact that it's brand new should count for something. :)

I was afraid of that; That line is nearly impossible to get to on this motor. The bracket to which the fuel pump is mounted is bolted directly above the port. The line from the manifold to the pump is only about 2" long and makes an "S" shape. I might try to tie a "T" into it though... or...

Yes, until it dies from fuel starvation anyway! :LOL: Yes, when the motor dies, the filter is empty. I can re-start the motor and it will run very briefly at low RPM. Throttling up or even moving (anything that causes more fuel use) will kill the motor again. I bought the OEM Hustler filter...

Sorry, just to clarify; I should feel a pulse at the pump fuel inlet? That makes sense. I'll check that, thanks!

Sorry if cross-posting isn't allowed; I posted this in the Kawasaki forum but it occurred to me that this might not be motor, but mower related. Anyway, feel free to take this down if I'm rule-breaking. :) I'm helping my father-in-law with a Hustler Super Mini Z (927277) with a 25HP Kawasaki...

I'm helping my father-in-law with a Hustler Super Mini Z (927277) with a 25HP Kawasaki carbureted motor. (FH721V-CS16-R) From cold, the mower runs perfectly until it warms up. As soon as it warms up (about 10 minutes of full-throttle mowing with a bagger, not full speed) the fuel filter runs...

I got serious about this project last weekend and my hopes were immediately dashed. Clearance between the tire and the frame bits holding the transaxle in place is less than 3/4"! I could potentially go up to 7.5" but the risk of rubbing is too high to mess with. I think I'll try to find a...

Hello, all. I recently parked my Bronco and bought a lightly-used Gravely ZT34. I have almost no complaints... it's everything I expect from a small zero turn and it zips effortlessly around the seemingly endless (and growing) number of things I have to mow around and between in my yard...
