    2015 L3301 sputters and dies

    Yup. A little piece of trash. Suspiciously bug shaped. Skinny enough to fit in the 1/4 inch elbow at the bottom of the tank, long enough not to fit through the elbow. Caused all my problems. Lesson learned.

    Cool. When I turned on the key it moved some fuel as well so that makes sens. . I pulled the feed line to the first filter with the water separator on it. There was no fuel . I shoved a weed wacker string up there and now its tinkling out. Slowly. I got a blockage of some sort in the tank...

    Hi everyone . My 3301 has been solid for a while (620 hours) the sensor that sits on the hst forward and backward foot pedal was bypassed cause it broke. Ever since then the seat sensor did not matter. I can stand and drive it so there is no issue with that. I recently had my bailer catch fire...
