Ian: I see you eliminated the inline filter, and problem still exists. Over the years I've had this same problem a few times and it usually turns out being the stem from tank to sedimemt bowl. What happens, if these tractors sit very long not full of gas, one gets a rust build up on inside portion of tank exposed to air. When you start using tractor the gas washes the rust off and into the sediment bowl stem. Long term you should remove tank, have it steamed and coated inside. Most radiator shops are equipped to do this.
Short term here is my solution, remove gas line, remove gas cap, then apply compressed air to sediment bowl outlet. This blows the crud out of stem and back to tank. This hit my SA this summer, I might have expected it as it's close to 20 years since tank was steamed, and last winter tank was empty 3 months as I restored and painted the tractor. I should have taken the time then to have tank done, however grass mowing was upon me by the time I got the tractor back together. During the summer I got about 10 hours each time I applied the air. I've noticed this before, one gets decent milage from air treatment. Only takes 10 min.
