I bought 50 something Massey 55 gas. It ran great until I operated it a few times then it started starving for fuel. Took the carb apart and cleaned. Ran good again for a while then started starving again. Any suggestions?

It may seem basic, but try running with the gas cap loose or off. I have seen tractors cut out from poor gas tank ventilation. You can't take gas out if air doesn't replace it.

Disconnect your fuel line at the sediment
bowl and remove the sediment bowl assembly
from your fuel tank. Suspect there is a clog
at the screen surrounding the stand pipe, therefore not allowing enough fuel thru to the
carb to meet the requirements of the engine
