Brand new Air and fuel filters. Starts right up and after minutes loses power. Acts like it’s fuel starved. Oh, also replaced diaphragm fuel lift pump and replaced band hose clamps with screw clamps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Model 1526

Sounds like the injector lines need to be cracked a bled, tightened after fuel comes out.
I believe the 1526 is a Mitsubishi engine and should be self priming.

You may have crud up against the pencil strainer in the fuel tank.
Take your air gun and blow up into fuel hose after you detach it from fuel filter housing.
A sure sign of this is when you detach the fuel hose, you will notice minimum fuel if any coming out.

It will Idle indefinitely at [emoji6][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] until a load is put on it, the it sucks air into the fuel system from somewhere. That’s why I was replacing the spring clamps with screw clamps.

Ok
When you replaced the fuel filter, did you also replace the small o ring that resides in the middle?
There are two o rings for the fuel filter housing and the little one needs to be purchased separately.
It does not come with the filter.

 

[Chicnranch]

yes, but I reordered all specific Mahindra parts and o-rings. I believe the ones in there are third party. I can type much better from computer than my phone.

I type from an iPad that drives me nuts. It can decide at any moment to refresh the page and I’ll lose all that I typed just like this post.
If you have good flow from the feed tube that enters the fuel bowl, then your problem is from the fuel bowl to the injectors.
Check for any fuel leaks or tube cracks to the injectors then check the flow from the injector.
