[quote=Anonymous]so once it gets to 1/2 tank.

after it cools down  will it start and run.   IE  doe it need to have a full tank to run.

If it won't run after it gets to 1/2 a tank.  even the next day  I'd say you have a fuel pressure problem.

and at a full tank,  there is enough fuel in the tank to help the fuel pump  keep up with the engines demand.  but once it gets below 1/2  its loosing the battle.

most riding mower have a fuel pump thats operated via the crank case pressure. looks like this   https://www.amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-RIDING-BRIGGS-STRATTON-REPLACEMENT/dp/B01I85TG9Y/ref=asc_df_B01I85TG9Y/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241885289460&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=398210105582602102&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1027027&hvtargid=pla-409610154873&psc=1

between that and the fuel filter would be my trouble shooting go to....

now if the mower will start and run just fine on 1/2 of a tank after its cooled down,  but maybe you are getting some vapor lock from the heat of the engine..[/quote]
