I saw a post where someone recommended putting some kind of marbles or something into the tank along with fuel to shake up and aid in cleaning. Is that a good idea?

Works well with the older metal tanks to get dirt and rust loose from inside the tank, but could cause damage to the internal filter in push mower tanks.

Thanks, that’s kinda what I thought but it didn’t make sense since the fuel tank is higher than the carb. I didn’t think small engines had them. Good to know.

I have a Craftman Ride On, the fuel line gos from the tank, through an in-line filter, then to something mounted on the engine that has a line from it to the carb, and another line to the manifold. It is about 2 inches round, and 1/2 inch thick, what is it?
Take a picture and post it up here. Or a video would be helpful.

It is the fuel pump.
the side that goes to the carb has a check valve in it and the line from the engine has a diaphragm that goes in & out with pressure cycled from the crankcase.
IT should be marked with arrows.
The in side & induction tubes are together the output is all by itself.
