JohnT, I had a bad fuel tank on a Jubilee. So I installed an in line fuel filter. MISTAKE. The fuel filter was made of a clear plastic, paper inside and you could see when the fuel stopped. No fuel pump on the Jubilee, just gravity. Well it worked fine until the gas temp reached 135, then the fuel stopped flowing through the paper filter. Vapor locked. When it cooled off, the fuel flowed again.
Remove your filter and see what happens.
I purchased a new tank and went back to the sedimen bowl and the 3 screen filters that was OEM.
Some lawn mowers can't use paper in line filter. The gas won't go through them, they use a screen filter instead.
Think you could go to a shade tree mower repair shop, Billy Bobs,LLC and pick up a used fuel pump for testing?
How cheap are electric fuel pumps?
Now is you really want to be cheap, get a gas hose like on a boat with a priming bulb. Let your passanger pump the fuel by hand. George.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
