A bit of planning on getting the tank empty as the last cut or draining most of the fuel is up to how you wish to accomplish the task! That takes care of getting all fuel out of the carb and tank. I am adding a second post on this subject! This post is a post of preventative maintenance! When putting the lawn mower up for winter, it is the perfect time to get all fuel out of the tank and carburetor! The simple way is the run the mower till the tank is empty. So which one was the real culprit? Don’t know, don’t care, the lawn mower is running great! Let me just say, I did all of the suggested remedies on the fuel flow issue and this last one did it for me. I took the filter and reshaped the side with the paper under the gasket so that the entire filter seals and bingo, put it all back together, did a 3 pump prime and the engine started first pull, and kept running. I fixed that, and I can only venture, that some how, the filter works in conjunction with the fuel flow as there is a rubber hose that runs to the crankcase, and that has to pump and suck as the piston action occurs. I did an inspection of the filter element that I had cleaned, last fall, and found one of the paper edge was stuck out under the rubber edges. Got the Toro out this spring, same type as being discussed, 6.5 hp, self propelled, and after going thru all of the cleaning suggestions of jets, carb, tank and so on and making sure the bulb was priming right, on reassembly and testing, without the air filter installed, same problem, runs the prime dry and stops running.
