Fuel flow problem!!!  To let you know it has fresh gas a new fuel filter ,  the Carb. has been clean.  We use the lawn mower and then fuel filter bowl doesn't keep gas in it so the mower act like it out of gas??  Once we let it set then the filter will fill slowing up it takes while??  what else need to be look at ??  Does this have a Fuel Pump???

Answer
Deborah,

    This model does not have a fuel Pump What May be happening is an Obstruction in your fuel Line Or Vapor Lock.
Usually with vapor lock your fuel cap is not venting air into the fuel tank while liquid is being removed try loosening your fuel cap only slightly to where it is finger tight.
Second remove the fuel from the fuel tank when it is emptied remove the rubber fuel line only to the filter take a long wire and slide it down the line If it hits the obstruction you may be able to push it out and reinstall it and give that a try
