[AT] OT - JD STX38 fuel problems

[Dean VP]

Mike:

Have you performed the tests I suggested to isolate the gas flow problem to
be on the filter side or the carburetor side? It's a simple test that would
lead you to the specific problem w/o doing anything else. After reading some
of the additional posts I would now guess the problem is the NAPA filter.
With what little a JD OEM gas filter costs, I would replace the NAPA filter
with a new OEM JD gas filter - AM107314 - $2.35 at your JD Dealer. Worst
case it doesn't solve the problem but that will help isolate the REAL
problem. Having a spare fuel filter handy is a good thing anyway

Larry,
I just looked at the owners manual too see if there may be a picture of
the original filter. I did find one, and it does appear to be a lot
smaller in length and diameter. While were on the OT subject, I was
wondering if anyone would know why this mower won't haul my butt up a
small hill in our yard in 5th gear, it just stops. I assume that the
drive belt needs adjustment, because it looks OK. If there is no
adjustment, then I can assume it's stretched. Anybody know of an
adjustment.

Thanks,
Mike
