Just around 350 hours 6 years old. Main job mowing 150 acre horse farm. Losing power on the rotary cutter and petering out on hills. Changed fuel filter and drained tank. Dealer says probably something stuck against fuel lines and it’s starving for fuel. FML!!

That very well could be true there have been lots of strange things found in the tanks, from dirt and leaves to big old june bugs, how did that stuff get in there GOKs. Try maybe blowing back through the line into the tanks to check,,, Other thing and I know it sounds silly but by change did someone dump GAS in the tank or mix up fuel?

If you have a water separator bowl check the fuel line and shutoff....lots of time the restriction is there. This is before the filter many times and garbage gets caught in the shutoff. Good way to tell is watch to see if bowl level fluctuatues.....it shold stay constant. Fluctuation means blockage.
