Do you have a recommended procedure for tank cleaning ? Removing the tank would probably be a major pain , but if that's the only option.

Emptied the tank , ran engine dry , blew out the line , cleared the fuel filter , vacuumed out the tank. Seemed to do the trick, in fact I don't recall the mower running with such vigor in quite some time.. So thank you !!

OK I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I'll dump the tank and air hose the line after the fuel pump ( and maybe filter ) .

Loosening ( even removing ) the gas cap has no effect.

I haven't tried that, but I shall

Thanks for the reply. If that were the case I should see the fuel filter empty no ? And it doesn't.

Not sure what's going on. I'll get like 1/2 way through my yard and poof the surging starts. If I lower the throttle a sit a few it will come back but not for long. Here's a video of it in action. https://photos.app.goo.gl/L8VS9k8xHLhB9dgWA Model is : Kawasaki FH661V for cub cadet rzt 50...

OK while looking for the solenoid ( which I still have no idea) I wiggled connections , moved the starter. Worked twice. Now not sure what to think. I know the second I put all back together it will stop. Any thoughts ?

Oh Yea , battery connections appear very tight. I would guess if that were the problem it would be completely dead not just partially dead.. Then again I find this stuff a bit mystical.

A friend mentioned whack the starter with a hammer. Which required some disassembly. Found a mouse nest *sigh* . Vacummed that up and hit it a bunch I did , still no go but the noise was greatly diminished, so I assume it lacked juice. Put the jump on and and it started. So I thought problem...

Ok this will have to wait for part 2. I'll report back my findings or more likely more questions , many thanks for your help !!

I realized my video didn't show the full turn. So back to the shed. https://photos.app.goo.gl/PpfzxdpmvUwWvJJf6 While I know what a solenoid is and basically how it works. Not sure how to identify it or what would count as a good ground ( chassis ?) Or do I need a steak in the ground ? Thanks...

OK removed the screen . Here is what I got when turning https://photos.app.goo.gl/3GawsKxum6439jq19 If seized It shouldn't budge, no ? The battery is maybe 2 months old and has been a champ. I also tried my portable jump starter ( for my car ) . Same result. Thanks so much for the replies. Any...
