unbelievable! I was mowing the lawn for the last time this season, and halfway through the job, the tractor quit. I could hear it starting to run rough, like it does when the fuel is empty. Looked down and confirmed the tank was almost full. Fiddled around with a few things before determining the engine wasn't getting fuel. The nice design of the JD fuel filters allow me to easier determine fuel flow. After awhile I resorted to the best troubleshooting tool - the internet - and found this post. Surely it couldn't be ~that~ simple. But sure enough, cleaned out the fuel cap vent with a toothpick - and WOW! I saw the fuel start flowing through the filter and it started right up. Still can't believe it was that simple - but glad it was! really did not want to have to take the tractor apart in the cold, windy weather today! Thanks for the tip JeepOne!
