21hp Kohler on Z121 Kubota zero turn, Runs well for 15 to 20 minutes, Then starts to sputter like it's running out of gas, tank is full, new fuel filter with flow in the proper direction, fuel pump is pumping fuel. I haven't got in to the carb yet , Hoping I didn't have to go there, any Ideas of problem, also Solenoid is acting up needs replaced ,They are not dependent on each other are they( never heard of that but). Thanks

pickup tube in tank gets clogged at the top, where the 90 degree bend is. tube was updated to one with a screen at the bottom. tube pulls out of top of tank and is easy to get to. caution!!!!! drain tank down below fitting level before pulling

Thank you for the final solution. Just wish everybody did instead of leaving hanging.
