When you hear hoofbeats think horses - not zebras.

Some junk in the sediment bowl inlet passage reduced the flow to drop - drop - drop.
I'm adding the inlet screen sold by ytday because there has to be more crap in the tank.

This is granddaughters tractor - guess I'll get her a screened gas funnel for Valentine's Day.

Thanks for all your help.

You may want to take the tank off and clean it out, inspect it for rust.

I don't know if it originally had one or not, but there is a stand up screen that can be installed in the end of the sediment valve fitting. That will pre filter the fuel and keep it from drawing directly off the bottom of the tank.

If it is flaking rust, it will come back to haunt you at the most inopportune time! A new tank may be in the near future.

X2. you should be able to see how bad the inside is with a flashlight.

Also consider putting a standpipe in the sediment bowl inlet so that it pulls fuel an inch or so above the bottom of the tank.
