Tractor hesitating...

Posted by hammondp on September 06, 2005 at 06:28:56 from (216.70.63.8):

MM Jetstar 3 has been working well until this weekend.

It seems to be starving for fuel. I checked the fuel line to the carb and it flows fine.

Here are the symptoms.

I let the tractor sit for a few minutes and it starts fine then after a few minutes it stops as if running out of gas.

It starts fine.

Is it possible that something with the carb is sticking? Float?

I"m fairly new at this engine repair stuff so I"m grasping here.

I"m thinking of cleaning the carb. What"s the best way to do that?

What other things do I need to check?

Thanks.

Patrick
