But a master chief has to EARN that rank over years. That is different.

Okay guys just to get a little bit back on topic here I think I may have found my problem I think the tractor was too much on the incline it was too low on fuel I'm not positive on that yet that's why I'm getting ready to try now with some blocks so I'm just going to see what kind of incline and see if it was actually getting fuel because the fuel filter is empty so I feel on it just didn't have enough fuel in it so that's what I'm going to try wish me luck

It would need to be pretty much bone dry, pickup is the lowest point on the tank at most any reasonable angle.

Well I hope it is the problem.

And RED-06 is right. If that engine turns over, and fuel is over the outlet in the tank- your tractor could be upside down and it should pump fuel.

 

But if your tank is almost empty, it's possible an incline could do it too.

Yep the tractor was on a incline. And was almost empty on gas.

Put some gas in it before gas goes even higher !

We have plenty of gas just have to figure out what is wrong with the tractor before filling it all the way up.

You said you thought the problem was low fuel… if the fuel is low enough to cause it to run bad on an incline… you are OUT OF FUEL.

If you have fuel in the tank it should run if the tractor was upside down.

[Horse Newbie 7,168]

If you need to work on the fuel system just cut the gas off at fuel pet cock.

[TJ5208 1,824]

 It's empty all right.

I'll give a update tomorrow.

[TJ5208 1,824]

I know what's wrong with it ain't got no gas in it.

Oh I see what you're trying to point out I should have put it on my sandwich.

And I'm hoping if I run it long enough maybe able to clean it out. Even though I will just end up cleaning the carb out.

I think that as you get older, and more knowledgeable, you tend to always assume, (overthink) the problem is more complex than it actually is. 🤔🤔 But when you’re young and just starting out it’s the opposite, and you hope 🤞🤞the issue is simple, (cheap) to fix!

Okay I'm going to work on my tractor tonight I just wanted to know would it be a good idea to sray carb cleaner in the carb and shut the tractor off and let it soak. I plan on putting more SeaFoam in and then when I shut the tractor off it will soak to.

Gas...just gas. No cleaner or spray, just gas...get it running again then go from there.

I haven't visited this thread for a while... for various reasons. And I realize that my following comment will probably be the equivalent to pizzing in the wind... BUT...

 

As someone who just read-through the 11 pages of this thread... I came to an epiphany... the same problem with the fuel system persists.

 

Isn't it about time to take everything apart... clean everything... and reassemble? Common sense tells us that... this thread could go on for 2 dozen more pages with the same problem persisting. I left this thread for that reason... and it is probably only a matter of time before the rest of these guys do as well. 

 

Just a "Peter Lena" proactive thought here...

Well we're getting ready to tear into the carburetor anyway so I'm just going to include here it's been way too cold for my dad to be outside he is 75 he don't need to be out in the cold he don't need to be worser than he already is .and he sure dang shouldn't be were he could fall and slip and hurt himself. The reason I say that is because he just had his hip replaced.

Yes I am working on it but the garage floor has ice all over it and if you get one Speck of water on the floor you are on the floor in 2 seconds and our garage is not heated.
