I'm sure a man of your quality has had this problem in the past....... I can only assume the hole was caused by a bullet, or possibly a shovel that in the heat of the moment missed hitting the snake and got the mower tire.

That statement pretty much captures my mechanical ability. Usually when I bring something in for repair and they ask what is wrong with it I tell them "It's broken and doesn't work". If I actually knew what was wrong with it I may fix it myself. I have nothing clever to put here.

It turned out the gas pickup line in the gas tank had become soft over time, and the resistance caused by the little filter on the end of the line in the tank would cause the line to collapse on itself from the vacuum caused by pumping of the gas. Shut it off and it would start up just fine, but soon after it ran hard for a bit it would die from lack of gas. "My life is better than your vacation"

Put it back and managed to mow the whole lawn without stopping. You'd think I would have thought of that having run small outboards with vented tanks for nearly 40 years. Glad I asked. Thanks for the help. Last edited by 10bands; 08/14/20 08:47 PM.
