Exmark Phazer FH580V Kawasaki, 247 hours, purchased 9/2006
Starts and runs normally until it gets hot, then engine runs rough, and not at all unless the choke is fully on.
1. Changed the fuel filter and it actually work for a few hours, then the problem started again.
2. Next we changed the fuel solenoid and it ran for a few more hours and the problem recurred.
3. Removed the fuel lines from the tanks and solenoid and blew out the fuel lines with a compressor.
4. There are two small parts called Fuel Check Valve Partt# 99-5000. You could see light through one but none through the other, so I cleaned them out with a wire.
5. The Fuel Value looked clear.
6. The fuel cap vents are open
It's obviously not getting enough fuel. Before we order the parts to rebuild the carb, any suggestions would be appreciated.
