I was mowing with my new DC s'burb'n turb'n the other day and the left engine started backfiring and then it stopped altogether. Would'nt start no matter what I did. Finished that job using just one engine. I got back home and checked the engine for spark and that was ok, then pulled the fuel line and alas, no fuel! As I investigated further, I found that both the vents for both of the fuel tanks for that engine had obviously vibrated closed. No air, no fuel. I opened them and the motor fired and ran beautifully. Not a thing wrong except the closed vents, Sometimes you get lucky. Thanks, Lynn
