CUB CADET 2135 STARTING PROBLEM

[frankski]

I HAVE A CUB CADET 2135 THAT I JUST PURCHASED. AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC SERVICE THE
TRACTOR, WE HAVE A PROBLEM HE CANNOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX. THE TRACTOR
WITH HALF THROTTLE AND FULL CHOKE, NEEDS TO TURN OVER ABOUT 30 OR 40 TIMES BEFORE IT
CATCHES AND WILL START. IF I SHUT OFF THE TRACTOR AND TRY TO RESTART, IT USUALLY
WILL START BACK UP AGAIN WITHOUT A LONG CRANKING TIME AGAIN. IF THE TRACTOR SITS
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, SAME THING AGAIN AS IF JUST STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME. ANY
IDEAS WHAT I NEED TO DO? NEW FUEL PUMP OR WHAT. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

I am no mechanic but it sounds to me like you are sucking air some where. Have you checked all the fuel lines?
