Low fuel pressure on Hustler

I have a 2013 Hustler with the FR65TV Kawasaki engine. I'm not getting enough fuel pressure to the carb. I've checked all the lines, filter, and in-tank screen. Anything else I can check before I call the dealer? The grass is growing and I need to mow

Not knowing what mower you have have you checked the fuel pump.

Not knowing what mower you have have you checked the fuel pump.

The gas feeder tube in the tank was obstructed. I blew compressed air into the tube until the gas in the tank was agitated. I thought that would a sufficient test, but it wasn't. I pulled the tube, ran a 1/4" fuel line into the tank, hooked it to the fuel pump, and she started right up. I guess pressure caused to debris to flatten when blowing downward into the tube , and raise up when the fuel flow from the pump came from the other direction. It was a real head scratcher.
