Fuel Shut-off Solenoid
This electromechanical plunger is located at the base of the carburetor bowl to prevent backfiring. If the internal solenoid coil is failing or the plunger is contaminated with fuel varnish, it may retract briefly for start-up but fail to remain open, physically blocking fuel flow to the main jet immediately after ignition.

Fuel Filter
A partially clogged fuel filter allows fuel to slowly seep into the carburetor bowl while the engine is off, providing just enough volume for a successful start. Once the engine is running, the high fuel demand exceeds the restricted flow rate of the filter, causing the engine to lean out and stall once the bowl is depleted.

Fuel Tank Cap
Modern zero-turn fuel systems rely on a vented cap to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the tank. If the vent becomes obstructed by debris or fails internally, the fuel pump creates a vacuum in the headspace of the tank that eventually overcomes the pump's suction capacity, starving the engine of fuel shortly after startup.
