Is the elctric fuel shutoff on the carb bowl working? Unscrew it & see if the plunger pulls in when you turn th key on. If it does then the needle valve could be stuck shut. If the plunger doesn't move then either the shutoff valve is bad or isn't getting electricity.
FWIW, I was backing the SMTA in the shed this fall after using it on an auger & it died in the middle of the door. Let it sit a little bit it will start & then die. It's getting fuel to the carb so I'm 99.9% sure it's the needle valve but I've never had one just quit running like that. I have a new one in the shop, just need to take time & replace it.
Anybody have any suggestions as for something to add to the gas or put on the vitron on the needle valve to keep them from sticking? Seems like with this newer gasoline the problem is becoming worse. I have put at least 5 needle valves & seats in this tractor in this last 3 years. Carb has been cleaned. Will Seafoam help?
