Problem: My Cub Cadet Zero-Turn will briefly start and die if it sits for just a few minutes. What I "think" is that it is not getting fuel. If I spray starter fluid in it, it kicks over. If it sits for a few minutes, it will kick over but die. I think it is not getting fuel but could use some opinions. Mower and Engine specifications below:
Cub Cadet Tank 48 Zero-Turn (53CB5DAV750) (Zero-Turn Manual)
Kawasaki 19HP FH601V-CS27 (Kawasaki Manual)
What happened: I started it right up like usual. It turns over very easily. It ran for about 1 minute total. I engaged the PTO and started mowing and 10 seconds later it just died.
What I have Tried: The tank does have gas (ha). However, I have not replaced the fuel pump, and it is next in the fuel supply chain. This part I have to order and before I do, I wanted some help making sure whether I should order one or look at something else before I do. I done the following:

- The fuel lines look really good - I replaced them a couple years back.
- I replaced the plugs
- I replaced the fuel filter
- New battery this year
