Update; Over the late fall and winter, I have continued to experience the same engine shut down. The symptoms are the same; tractor chokes off and won't start, I can't hear the fuel pump pumping fuel, and when I release the vacuum on the inbound fuel pump line the tractor starts and runs...

I am very sure that the fuel tank outlet is not clogged with debris. When I wiggle that fuel pump line off, fuel will just gush out of it.

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting this diagram. That is very helpful and kind of you. I am familiar with the return line that you are refering to and I did pull it off and and ran compressed air through it. It inflated the fuel tank with air and the excess pressure immediately...

I checked my book closely and I did not see any mention of cleaning or inspecting the fuel cap. To me that would not seem to be a regular maintenance item.

Thanks for your help. It is very kind to have so many people offer up suggestions to me on this issue. I will continue to pay attention to what condition the cap vents are in and keep working at it. I don't know if that is the issue though. I really like my tractor. This issue is baffling...

Right, I meant the the state of matter (gas / vapor). When I would remove the fuel cap there was a noticable amount of gas vapor that would escape the tank. Like carbonated beverage when you twist off the cap. Anyway, I don't know if that is normal or not, it is just something that I...

Update; My BX2380 ran for several hours with no problem (mowing the lawn). We'll see if this continues to be the case. These are the steps that I have taken: I have removed the primary fuel filter and connected the fuel lines with a barbed fitting. I blew compressed air through the return...

My BX is only 3 years old and I only use it to mow my lawn. In the past I do recall having a noticable amount of gas escape the fuel cap when I unscrewed it for refuling. My thought is that as the pump removes fuel from the tank, then the one-way intake valve would allow air to come in to...

I am getting a vacuum in the tank line to the fuel pump. This causes the fuel flow to stop until I pull the line and release the vacuum, then the tractor runs until the vacuum develops again. I am wondering if there is a blocked vent. I used an air compressor to blow air through the fuel...
