[AT] OT - JD STX38 fuel problems

[Dean VP]

Frank:

The filter isn't plugged. Mike has performed the test of disconnecting the
line to the carburetor. The flow is completely adequate. He is going to try
a new filter but my guess is there is some problem in the carburetor.

is this kinda like using Deere fluid in the power steering

I really don't think it is the case of a Napa filter Vs Deere filter but a
case of a plugged filter like I said several days ago.
Napa filters are superior to Deere filters!
