You can see by all the varying responses that even we aren't certain it's a fuel problem. There is no way the dealer can diagnose this over the phone. Have them send someone out to take a look. The worst you get is a $50-$100 bill for a service call that will drain your fuel and put new stuff in. It will be a learning opportunity for you so you can have the mechanic explain the entire troubleshooting process and show how to drain the fuel. In my book that would be worth the money to me as I'd know what to do in the future. However he also might find it's a warranty issue and then he's right there to figure it out.
You have a cheaper route, see if you have a neighbor you trust that is tractor friendly and can look it over. You're new to this and there is a learning curve but once you know it, it will be old hat. Gender means nothing to these tractors or to the forum folks here. We like our Orange Tractors, but like all tractors, so that's the focus.
If you are willing to work with the folks on the forum here, we can eventually walk you to a solution, but it will take much longer than the dealer or a neighbor.
