Hey guys, Going to post this on a garden tractor forum too...but this is the best accumulation of knowledge around so I figured I'd check here too.
Have a Cub Cadet 1529 lawn mower that has been acting a little funny this summer. Has a 19.0 hp Kawasaki 2 cyl engine
At first start up, turn key pull choke, engine fires, push choke back in and you are off and running...always been that way... But now, the engine doesn't seem to get full power, struggles to drive full speed and mow...stinks like gas as it does this. Shut it down, 15-20 minutes...re-start, same process...runs fine, full power, no issues, smell is gone.
What gives? Saw some gas dripping from a fuel line today, cut it a little shorter (to remove hole), re-crimped it, didn't solve issue...solved dripping fuel...thought maybe I had solved it..line looked pretty cracked...it is the line before the inline filter...
My thought is...a) is there some kind of object in the tank that settles and blocks fuel then loosens up after running? But then why the smell of gas? Cracked fuel line...air getting in, causing a lack of power when running...but then what happens 20 minutes later when it runs fine?
I am at a loss...should I go ahead and replace line first and see what happens? Is the fuel pump going bad?
