Acts like it ran outta fuel. I disconnected fuel like at primer bulb and blew in hose. no resistance from fuel in tank although tank is almost full. I know I drew vacuum as it was like sucking on an empty Coke bottle. Vacuum ceased when I loosened tank fill cap. To finish job and load up machine, I ran it off a 5 gallon jug on top of radiator. I'm wondering if fuel p/u has fallen off inside fuel tank. This is a BobCat with fuel tank under motor. Anyone know how to access fuel tank p/u ? Help !

Another member just had the same problem. See this thread on how to replace the fuel line.

Thanks, man.
OK, here's some hints. Disconnect fuel line from "bulb", this gives you some extra slack...tie a string around it so you don't lose it. Push rubber tube up thru new black rubber fitting, flush w/top. Push angled fuel line fitting HALF WAY ONLY into top of new black rubber fitting... Now, install the entire thing in one piece, starting of course by pushing the new screen filter end in tank. I used l thick 16" long cold chisel as a pry bar to force angled fuel fitting fully into rubber tank fitting...this spreads rubber fitting tight in tank. A pair of 9" needle nose pliers helps a lot. Good luck.
