Default John Deere LT155 Engine Problem

John Deer lawn mower not getting enough fuel to carburator, starts only
after a long wait but dies when the fuel in filter is used up. What
would cause this? How is the fuel drawn into the filter? It appears
that fuel is gravity fed while the engine is off, thus if you wait
several hours the filter accumulates enough fuel to run the machine for
15 minutes.

Works for me, but come to think of it I did get a log-on id for JD
parts. Anyhow they show a mechanical pump. I suspected that as the fuel
tanks are under the seat on Deere's ever since the first few caught
fire with under the hood tanks. There is no way that could gravity
feed and still be able to climb even gentle hills. I wish we could post
jpg here The pump kit is part # AM133627, but it might be jumping
to conclusions to say that is the problem.

Could just be dirty filter...don't know this model off-hand, is it
sediment bowl or filter element?

Can check if pump is working by pulling line and seeing if get flow
when crank it...
