Thanks for your info. It did this once before so i took the gas tank off and i had some rust it so someone told me to put a piece of pipe in the shut off valve i did then. And i can cut 2 or 3 acres and it will run fine, but all at once it starts reveing up and if i hold the choke out it runs fine. I have rebuilt the carb and cleaned all screens from the tank to the carb.

Are you sure it's starving for gas or could it be an ignition problem? What exactly are your symptoms? Many times a problem that seems to be fuel related turns out to be a bad set of points, bad condenser, bad coil, or bad key switch.

However, assuming you've ruled out electrical problems, you will have to look at everything from the tank to the carb. The fuel flows from the tank to the carb with help from gravity. There is no fuel pump. Has someone added an in-line fuel filter? That wasn't there originally. Sometimes what seems like a good idea, like a fuel filter, just impedes fuel flow.

At the bottom of the tank there is a filter screen attached to the shut off valve. If your tank is dirty or rusty inside, you could have some crud build up around that screen. There is another fuel screen on the sediment bowl near the carb. You could also need a carb rebuild.

Let us know exactly what the tractor is doing (running rough? backfiring? dying? surging?) and maybe we can be more helpful.
