    Lawn tractor not drawing gas
    Old Craftsman won't run. Starts and runs just fine when starter fluid sprayed directly in carbeurator but doesn't seem to be "drawing" gas. Have replaced everything including carbeurator, solenoid, fuel filter in gas line, seat safety switch (and tried bypassing that).

    Umm - we did find the problem - could have saved ourselves a LOT of $$$ by starting with replacing the $5 gas line!
