I meant to post this last week after I got home, but I was side tracked by school and work.

I managed to go home last thursday and I took off the gas tank to the tractor after determining that I wasn"t getting fuel to the carb.

I think the obstruction is within the gas tank where the primary fuel filter is so I am going to take that off clean it out and go have my gas tank cleaned and sealed.

My question for you all is this - how can I remove the fuel sending unit (the screws are rusted and corroded) without blowing myself up and dying a misrable and painful death?

I have a new fuel sender assembly I just need to get the old one off. Any ideas?

I think I might be able to get t his thing working again in time for the 4/gal gas - after reading some posts on here I suspect my problem was the fuel line and I needlessly tinkered with the wiring (though I also suspect that harness had an internal short).

You can get an impact screw driver that spins when you strike it with a hammer. they are fantastic because they exert pressure down while they turn. I bought one at princess auto for $10.

It's been a LONG time since I had a fuel sending unit out of my 150, but I seem to recall those screws being brass. In any event, regardless of what material, take a hacksaw blade and carefully cut a slot across the head where you can get a good sized straight screwdriver to hold. Soak 'em with a good penetrating oil OR, I use brake fluid on stubborn bolts and screws. Give 'em a tap with a hammer before trying to remove them. Sometimes the jolt of a hammer will break them loose.

Good luck. Sounds like you're getting close!
