I have a zero turn cub cadet mower with a 23 hp engine. It will run for a while then the fuel filter runs empty. Replaced the fuel pump, filter, line from gass tank to the carb, the air filter, spark plugs. I have removed the tank and cleaned it. The problem started this summer when it was hot when I was mowing. Now it happens warm or cold outside.

Any thoughts? Fuel shutoff soelenoid?

Had the same problem. New fuel solenoid is the answer.

Sounds like a carb issue... have you had the carb rebuilt?

Did you check the vent on the gas cap?
Mine was doing the same thing was the gas cap vent

Seeing how the fuel filter is going empty I will say it can't be a carburetor, including fuel solenoid but fuel delivery. You have gone through most of the fuel delivery so my vote would also be on the gas cap vent or something plugging up the fuel delivery system you missed.
