I searched for this on this sub-forum, but received mostly unrelated threads. So, I guess I need to post to get a more specific set of responses. Tractor is 10 years old, about 1000 hours, owned by us since new. After a restart while still warm from previous running, it developed a mid, to full-throttle misfire never observed before. The misfire was accompanied with puffs of black smoke out the exhaust. Starts and runs fine up to mid-throttle.
Air filter did not look bad and a new filter made no difference. I plan to change the fuel filter under the deck. Should I also replace the one in the engine compartment at the same time? That was replaced a couple of years ago because it cracked and was leaking. First time there have been any issues with running cleanly.
I live a long way from our dealer. I am having someone pick up parts for me tomorrow AM, so besides the two fuel filters, would anything else be good to pick up for this first pass? Is there a replaceable screen in the fuel pump, etc?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
