Cut you a piece of tight fitting fuel line and put over each end of the shaft.

Now we get an idea of what type of mower you have. Is this what you are talking about? https://www.partstree.com/parts/troy-bilt-731-07203/

I don't know anyone who uses the things. Many people remove them or rig them to stay pulled out of the way.

You may want to remove the fuel tank and clean it out. It's better to get everything cleaned out than throw more parts at it.

I'm leaning towards trash in the tank and deteriorating fuel lines.

How old is this mower? Fuel lines deteriorate with age. They might look good on the outside but can be flaking off on the inside. Trash inside of the tank can cause the described problem. It can float around until it blocks the pickup tube. The engine shuts down and the trash falls away from the...

Better than the Yamaha. Start looking for a fuel delivery problem.

Does it have a Yamaha engine on it? If so, get rid of it.

Look at Valvoline's lineup of heavy duty grease. There are a couple that will do the job. https://www.valvolineglobal.com/en/cerulean-grease/ https://www.valvolineglobal.com/en/crimson-grease/ https://www.valvolineglobal.com/en/extreme-red-grease/

Is it the blue green fine blade grass? If so, it's either bentgrass or Bermuda.

That's a typical shut off valve. Take pictures of your mower, the valve picture, model number and serial number to your dealer and have him exchange it for the correct 3 way valve. With that valve, you will never get any gas from the other tank. Your dealer may be able to receive text messages...

Give us the model number and serial number of the mower. You may have a faulty valve or the wrong valve installed from the factory. It's supposed to have a 3 Way valve.

Check the seat safety switch.

Do you have a Hustler dealer near you? If so, call them.

I edited the drive belt number. It's 14939.

Rotary is an aftermarket distributor. https://www.rotarycorp.com/search?q=11661 https://www.rotarycorp.com/product/14939

Deck belt: Rotary #11661 Drive belt: Rotary #14939

Hustler part # 607162 for deck belt. Hustler part # 607400 for dive belt Please verify.

FWI: Before removing the carburetor, mark the throttle cable on both sides of the hold down clamp. By doing this, you will be close to factory settings when everything is buttoned up.

Look at the Raptor XD model. It's transaxles are a step up from the ZT2200 found on the XL model. As @Auto Doc's said, buy from a servicing dealer and not from a big box store.

You should have gotten a separate operators manual for the engine. The World Lawn website says that particular mower comes with a Kawasaki FR691V. All engine manufacturers have similar setups.

What Toro mower is this and what B&S engine?

Could be. My old SRM225 is hard to start after running a while and putting it down for a few minutes. I imagine that the diaphragms in the carburetor are perished. I replaced all of the fuel lines last year. I may just buy an OE carburetor and be done with it.

I didn't need the hour meter or service reminder functions. They are only good if you are permanently mounting it to the machine.

Old school spark testing tools are free. 😉😉

Cheap ain't good and good ain't cheap. If you are going to buy one, get one that's a little more expensive. Look for one that only gives the RPMs. I bought this one. https://www.amazon.com/Runleader-Tachometer-Real-time-Snowblower-Motorcycle/dp/B08G3P78FB

Is it losing prime? Have the fuel lines, fuel tank grommet, and primer bulb been replaced? Has the spark arrestor screen been cleaned? Was a new spark plug installed? I'm willing to bet that the shop didn't do a thorough evaluation. Aftermarket ignition modules aren't the best.

Echo, Stihl, and Rotary 0.95

I use the Kohler filter. 10 microns and extra capacity.

Something other than Nikki. I got the original carburetor rebuilt, using the Shindy 03-122 kit. I installed the original carburetor this morning. I also installed a new NGK BPR4ES plug, fuel filter, and a new fuel line from the filter to the carburetor. It's running good, for now. 😉😉 I still...

Anything you apply won't last very long.

Well, the blasted thing is acting up again. I put a Shindy kit in the original carburetor and intend to install it tomorrow. My plan is to get it running decent and trade it in on a Polaris Ranger 570. The Kawasaki Mule is at under 400 hours and I'm sick of it.

I keep Glyphosate 53% on hand. RM43 is good for bare ground.

It's not a bare ground herbicide. You will need something else.

Mine doesn't leak. You might try plastic wrap under the cap.

I use it occasionally. I have the Target 6+ brand. It works great if you have Bermuda lawns. DO NOT use on other southern grasses. It will cook crabgrass, nut sedge, Bahai grass. It's best applied at higher air temperatures.

You are going to need more than steering spindles. I would suggest that you jack the front end up and remove the bumper cover. Look it over good. Compare to the parts diagram and replace everything that needs replacing.

🤣🤣🤣

You can buy Ox and Xtreme clutches a little less than the Warner.

Post the solution!

Check blade brakes.

Have you checked for spark? You need to confirm that both plugs are sparking.

To save yourself from complaining about the next battery failure in 13 months, go to Walmart and buy you a Battery Tender Jr. Keep it hooked up whenever you aren't mowing. My original equipment battery is going on 4 years of age. It stays hooked up whenever I'm not mowing.

Check the wiring diagrams. You will need the model number and serial number to find them.
