I'm having the following issue. After I've been using the mower for 45 min or so, the mower starts sputtering and then quits. I noticed that the fuel filter is empty, and it appears that the carb is starved for fuel. I've seen a video online which lead me to believe it was getting vapor locked due to the fuel line getting too hot and evaporating the fuel. I rerouted the fuel line, but the problem persists. When it happens I can disconnect the fuel line and then blow lightly into both the tank and then into the carb. The filter gets some fuel and it will run for a few minutes, but then it quits again. I previously rebuilt the carb, so I believe it is clean and not getting gunked up. It happens more often when the mower is on a slight incline, but can happen when on flat ground as well.
1. What should I be looking at? Should I replace the carb? The fuel line and filter are new.
2. Is there a fuel pump mod that can be added? I know there are some models that have a pmp.
