My mower was surging the last time I used it. Time for new fuel filters so I removed pre-filter(screen) and cartridge filter. Pre-filter screen was plugged up. Cleaned it. The screen is in a metal housing with plastic bowl. It has a drain and two vent plugs in the top. I took all three out prior to cleaning. They had mud from dirt dobbers in the tiny holes. Cleaned everything and replaced cartridge filter. Pumped fuel bulb and fuel ran out of filter bowl. Looking at all three plugs/vents one looked to be designed to pass air and fuel. I tore it apart and the metal casting had a vent hole so put the plug that was flowing fuel in that position. Pumped until fuel came out of vent in cartridge filter. Tried starting. Nothing. Pulled hose off lift pump outlet and cranked. Getting fuel there. Cracked all three injectors and got air/fuel out of one. Can’t get fuel to the other two. I can’t find a bleeder on the pump. Any suggestions ?

Turned out it was the injector pump. Sent it to Mike The Pump Guy in SC. Super fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Mower runs better now than when new.

Thanks for letting us know what the fix was. Glad that it's running good now.
