Fellow Brothers;

Just a safety note here. The lawn tractor was running rough and the problem was traced down to dry rotted fuel hose (10 years old). I replaced it with GATES barrier fuel hose (more expensive than regular fuel hose). So you might want to crawl round the truck the next time you are doing an oil change and check your fuel lines, as I did 2 weeks ago when I was getting the '55 Pontiac ready for a show, and low and behold, the line that I had replaced 10 years ago from the fuel tank to the hard line was cracked. A fire waiting to happen.
