![]() What apparently had happened was that the "mushroom" would wander around in the tank til it got over the fuel outlet, then get sucked down and form a CHECK VALVE - if I tried to re-start immediately, NO GO - but wait a while and the lack of suction would allow the "check valve" to float up. ![]() In my case, some sort of algae had gotten together with some rust flakes and formed what looked like a miniature "kombucha tea" mushroom - with the rust flakes, the "mushroom" was magnetic enough I used a small rare earth magnet on a wire and fished it out. Only other thing I got - if the left tank is the ONLY tank that may (or may not) have the problem, I would check inside that tank (light, mirror, whatever you can see with) for anything partially submerged (that is NOT supposed to be there, that is) - I had this problem with my backhoe a few years ago - ran fine most of the time, but when I got "frisky" with it, about half the time it'd die just like pulling the fuel shutoff (diesel) - drove me nuts, 'cause I could let it sit for maybe 15 minutes, start it and it'd be fine (sometimes for days or weeks)
