I've been happy with my slightly used 48" Commercial Z turn with the steering wheel I bought a couple years ago- really cut my mowing time in half. Other than a deck belt tensioner spring coming loose, which was easily fixed once I figured out what had happen- a pin came out of the fastening clip, no problems.
But recently, when I use the left side fuel tank, it'll run for a while, then die. It's a lack of fuel issue. Works fine on the right side tank. I tried loosening the cap, thinking maybe it was not venting, but that's not it. Both tanks are fairly full, same new gas in each. When I first start it, cold, it'll run maybe 15 minutes on the left tank before dying. Restart on the right tank, runs fine. Switch to the left tank, runs for maybe 5-10 minutes, then dies again. Before I start investigating the fuel pickup, the lines and so forth, thought I'd ask if anyone has any experience with this problem? It'll give service with just the right tank, but not ideal. Thanks.
