Thanks for the video! My husband bought a fuel pump to replace ours and he had already thrown away the old one. The new one came in today while he was at work, and I wanted to get it running and get the grass mowed before he got home. It seemed pretty self explanatory to put the new one on, but I guess he had also taken out the vacuum line and I didn't know what was supposed to go there. After a quick YouTube search, I came across this, and I ended up cutting some random fuel line like you did. Worked great! Very informative video

The hose replaced in this video is not a breather or vent hose. It is an impulse line which delivers alternating pressure and vacuum from the crankcase to the fuel pump’s diaphragm, which in turn provides alternating pressure and suction via check valves to transfer fuel from the tank to the carb.  Any flaw in the line or its seal on either end will allow atmospheric pressure to enter, defeating the ability of the fuel pump to function.

Dude, you totally just saved me a service call.  Watched five other videos before yours to no avail.  I had the same trouble as you, but the hose on mine wasn't busted, the seal was just gummed up with grass gunk.  Literally dug it out with my finger and mower started immediately and is running better than it has in five years.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks! I have the same exact mower. I changed the spark plugs, air filter, battery, cleaned the carb, put all new gas. Runs a lot better but there was still some weakness. This just might be what the hangup is.

Thank you very much for the video.  Knew it was a gas delivery problem but didn't know where to start.  checked both gas lines like you said.  There was a clog in one of them, but still wouldn't turn over.   Didn't have a new air filter on hand so just shook it out.  Started right away and now purrs like a kitten.

Great video on determining exactly what the fuel delivery problem was by process of elimination.   A really simple way to confirm it’s fuel-related is to remove the air filter, spray a volatile into the intake and crank the engine. If it starts right up then it’s obvious fuel delivery is the issue.

Thanks for the help I did what you had showed on the fuel pump and all is up and running.  Fantastic!

I got a free husqvarna riding mower and I'm working on getting it running. Thanks for all the help. Your a Legend bro!!!

My exact problem. thank you sir for saving me money and making me self sufficient
.

Don't know yet if that's my problem, but the info you provided was well worth while. Thanks

Had the same issue. I ordered a fuel pump for $12.99 on Amazon,  and it even came with the 3 houses clamps and a new filter. 5 minute job relaxing the pump.

You’re awesome man. That was literally my problem. Exact same issue. I was going to take it somewhere to get it fixed but then I saw this video and fixed my mower in 5 minutes. Great job

Your video was very helpful. I had the exact same problem with my tractor. Simple fix. thanks again. Zero cost to repair.

Thanks for the video. I had no idea was the tube was for but saw it had vibrated loose on mine and the motor stalled out three times in 6 minutes. My lawn is like a mogul run so the mower gets a good shake now and again. Running like a champ again thanks to your vid.

Who knew?  I have the exact same tractor.  My issue is rough idle but I appreciate the information.

Really good step by step on figuring out what was wrong with it.   I would, however, caution folks on using any tool that could make sparks next to open gas.    Many drills make "sparks" on the inside of the tool, which could present a fire/explosion hazard.   Safety first.     :)

Thanks for this video.  This was exactly my problem, same tube ripped.  Electrical tape until the new hose arrives...

Thank you for this video! I’m having this identical problem.

Keep um coming buddy I think most of this was done in 3 or 4 pauses start to finish all the details  very good video

Great instructional video, solved same problem on my Husky!
