Just wanted to say thanks! Had a neighbor with a Deere X720 that did something very similar. Came across your video and decided I would take a crack at it for him. Sure enough, rubber hose on the fuel pump was split down the middle. Got it fixed for him for $5 bucks. Knocked out a good deed, and he thinks I am an ace mechanic. Thanks for putting this information out there. Really saved an elderly man a lot of money over taking it to John Deere and paying them for the repair. I suspect they would have replaced the whole fuel pump unit, plus labor. Keep doing what you are doing!

My fathers x485 -620 hours had the same issues for several years , after warming up engine miss ,would idle but no power . Followed your videos fixes, but engine miss remained. The cure for my 92 year old fathers x485 was valve lash clearance. I think the valves had slightly recessed, there by decreasing Valve clearance, motor would heat up -valve length expand just enough to keep valve from seating properly and the engine miss once again. Opened up valve clearance several thousands of an inch. After chasing engine miss several years this fixed our engine miss. Remove valve covers,roll engine over to point were rocker arms are loose and check/adjust valve clearance. Amen

I purchased an X485 at an auction and when I got it home, she was running rough after about 30-60 minutes of mowing. I first watched your video about the tune up kit and bought one tuned it up. I still had problems and was ready to take it back to the auction to sell it but I figured let me check your channel and I watched this video and decided to check out the fuel pump and I found the exact problem with the pump being separated from the hose, except I did not find a gas can cap. I replaced the hose and clamps and she purrs like a kitten. Your video not only saved me money but now I get to keep the tractor because its a great one. Your videos are perfect. Next I am following your video to service the mower deck. Thanks again

I have fixed this problem for my neighbor 2x now. The problem I have found is that using regular fuel line for this repair will make it fail in pretty short order. Most fuel line is not rated for being submerged in gas. The fuel line needs to meet the SAE 30 R10 standard. Most auto parts stores do not stock it, but can order it and have it in store in a day or two. The cost on it is about $20-$30 per foot, but it beats doing this job multiple times. I am about to tear into his for the 3rd time. Hopefully this will be the last.

My X530 is doing the same thing. It’ll run for a while and stop. It won’t crank. It it’ll turn over. Once it sits for a while it fires right back up. Make sense that the line could be broken or loose etc. When the fuel is sloshing the hose can’t get fuel but when the mower sits still and the fuel settles the hose touches just right again and fires up. The cycle continues I’ll take mine apart in a day or 2 and let you know of this was my issue also.

The yellow part you pulled from the tank was a cap for a gas can hose.

With a loose fuel line like that, why would it run for 30 minutes?
@OmFishing5 жыл бұрын
That is the same thing I thought. I don't how it ran but after I fixed it the problem was solved. Thanks for watching and stay safe.

The fuel would stop where the fuel line was disconnected at..as long as it was above that mark,,it would pull directly until it went below that break✌️

I heard somewhere that they make a hose called in tank gas hose for inside gas tanks and that you shouldn't use regular gas hose in the tank because the rubber on the outside of the hose will brake down from the gas in a short time. I believe this came from an auto mechanic on you tube. He said trust me or you will be replacing the hose again in a short time.

Running regular gas destroys those hoses. Use ethanol free to have the hoses last longer. I used to work 30 year old Cub Cadets with original fuel lines. Now they just fall apart.

Good find! I thought you would have replaced the return line hose as you had extra. It is strange that it ran for 30 minutes. That loose hose is unlikely to have cause that but perhaps it did. Check Gas cap fuel vent or just loosen the cap at 30 minutes and see if you can hear an air rush or if it continues to run.

I just started checking everything. When it had spark and still would not start I though fuel. If that was not it and I accidentally fixed it I will take dumb luck. And the fuel line guess i was not thinking clear when I found the other.

Get a air hose to that cap; blow any crap out of it and use Carb Cleaner on it too; a vapor lock equivalent is what may happen.
