Welcome to the Hustler Forum -- Check in Here First!

I'm pretty sure a hustler flip up is very similar and many parts interchange. I have one I picked up used a few months back. I like the mower.
 
Now I have a problem that I have seen in some other threads, mine will start cold but does not start hot. It progressed to starting cold and if cut off after 5 minutes, will not start. I have done most of the suggested procedures except change the carb. It has a solenoid on the bottom and I don't know when it engergizes, as soon as the machine is started or somehow as gas is needed?? Don't see anything on the web that answers that for me.
My experience has been similar with a FasTrak SD; The FX series is a power house and will last forever with care and maintenance. Sometimes we forget to blow out the cowling or windtunnel; whatever you choose to call it....it overheats if the temp runs a bit over norm and the compression levels can put a little extra load on the cranking amps AND if the engine is really running perfect; nice and a little rich the evaporative carb pressures offset the metering and you will flood it. If you flood it....go to alternate plan B. Alternate Plan B says "check the fuel ON OFF actuator.
