How to fix a John Deere L120 mower problem?

Worked on my L120 for 3 days pulling stuff apart and cleaning fuel lines, working on the pump, etc. It would run for 5 min then die… nothing was working… drilled out the hole in the center of the gas cap (and made it a little larger), made sure the holes in the rubber flap inside were clear… a whole 5 minute job in all… presto!

The L120 fuel line pickup does come out of the top of the tank. I would have expected a ‘siphon’ action when I disconnected the ‘main’ fuel filter, but fuel does not run out when this happens. It’s very strange.

How does the fuel pump work on a John Deere lawn mower?

The fuel pump is a diaphram pump (I think) and it works off of vacuum from the engine. It is possible that I lose vacuum after the engine heats up, but I don’t know how to check that.
