My Kohler 22 HP will not start after setting overnite without applying pressure to gas tank. I replaced fuel pump with one off my other Cub Cadet. Still same problem. Checked solenoid- good. Carburetor bowl was full of gas. Still same problem. Incidentally tractor runs fine once started. What appears to be the problem.

It's the fuel tank's job to supply fuel to the fuel pump so it can supply fuel to the carburetor. It's the carburetor's job to provide the correct fuel/air mixture to the engine so it can start and run.

Looks to me like the carburetor is the culprit.
