I need help with a problem with my Super M. I use it a lot and keep it in good shape but all of a sudden it acts starved for gas. It will run for several minutes just fine then dies acting like I had run out of fuel but I just filled the tank after lunch today and after running fine this morning with no trouble at all it developed this problem. If I let it set for a few minutes it will start right up and I can move it, sometimes several feet (trying to get back to the tool shed) then will die and the process starts all over again. I took the fuel line off and blew it out with the compressor and it was clear and open, I cleaned the sediment bulb (which by the way filled right up when I turned the shutoff valve on again)put everything back together, mowed weeds for about half an hour and thought everything was fine as it ran fine under load. I finally got back to the shed, let it run at fast idle and it ran fine. Any ideas what is going on here? One thought: if after it started having trouble and I was trying to get back to fix it, if I went up any incline it would die, then start right up, run a few feet and die. Could the float possibly be bad in the carburetor or ???? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
