[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 6135, member: 782"] The motor mounts bolts are not to easy to get at as stated , I have pulled the motors out of 3 of the MT 52's so far, if a remember right a 3/4 impact swivel socket with a long extension and an impact is the way to go ------ what I wanted to relate to you is how all 3 motors were blown , so you can remedy the problem before it bites you , bent rods caused by ingesting water in the motor was the cause of all three failures , the air inlet tube going into the air cleaner assembly needs to be cut on that machine as it hangs down in the engine compartment very low and if the machine is run thru water it will suck it up , also seen a local rental yards guy pressure washed the machine with engine running and it sucked up water and bent the rod , the first one I did the rebuild in frame and it had a couple of oil pan bolts that were hard to get out but possible , if the frame would have been cut another 1" it would have been alot easier , taking the motor out wasn't too bad except for getting to the motor mount bolts ------as far as your fuel problem I'd dump the filter in a clean container and see what you get out of it , probally your problem is the filter , do you fill up from cans or drums as this could be how it got contaminated , could also be the fuel pickup tube in the tank clogged up , usually the primer bulb will suck in when this happens , also seen dirt get clogged up in the check valve of the primer bulb , good luck [/QUOTE]
