Mowing Engine Misfires while mowing

   / Engine Misfires while mowing #21  
Final Answer -

1. Cleaned out fuel tank petcock valve. It was clogged. Drove down to gravel pit, loaded FEL and automatic furthest distance-from-house shutoff mechanism kicked in. :=(
2. Got it started later that night and drove back to shop.
3. Cleaned petcock valve again next day, drained tank, installed inline filter between tank and petcock valve. Checked at lift pump - fuel flow restored. :)

Attaboy Starkiller. I'm glad to see someone else has the automatic-furthest-distance-from-the-house shutoff. Mine seems inoperable except when the dealer-just-closed-an hour-ago timer has already gone off.

that's what i figured.... loss of fuel flow.. loss of rpms. common problem when a diesel wont make rpms.
