Message: <blockquote data-quote="mocus250" data-source="post: 134279" data-attributes="member: 23770"><p>Not sure if setup is same on your machine as my S250.   Mine had that issue repeatedly.  Fuel bulb would flatten out and sputtered after priming and running a little while.  Pumped fuel out of filler hose access and it was clean so deduced it was bad, kinked fuel pickup tube.    I bagged out on getting the grommet out of tank.   Couldn't reach it or see it on my machine.    Had visions of breaking off the grommet fitting or something that turned into nightmare repair for a $20 part !    Saw a previous older post on this site and copied a workaround using a short  steel 1&7/8 " OD muffler tube with threaded elbow fitting welded into it.    That was fit into the rubber fuel filler tube hose by cutting a short section of tube out   There are  threaded barb fittings with fuel line on each barb, one going straight down into tank  and one to engine.    While I was at it I upgraded the line size to 5/16" vs. the 1/4" from bobcat.   Was able to use 5/16 line all the way to fuel pump without any changes except hose clamps.   All is good now.    Might have to fill tank slower at diesel pump, but it fills tank  fine out of our gravity flow fuel tanks.   It would take 15 minutes to repair/ remove this set up as access is easy.   Would probly repair original pickup tube if I ever remove motor.  Picture is from access plate behind rear wheel.</p></blockquote><p></p>
