I just got my 300 out and mowed all day Friday. I came in and swapped out for a plow to break some ground for food plots and halfway through it started spitting and sputtering. I'd tap on the tank and it'd climb back up in RPM and I would go for a little while and it would do it again. I drove it straight to the shop, drained the gas and pulled the tank.
