You didn't say what brand the engine is in your Mustang skid steer, maybe an ONAN by chance? I have an Onan B48G in my 982 Cub Cadet. It was completely rebuilt by somebody that supposedly had done hundreds of rebuilds on them. I'm less than impressed. The rubber hose from the crankcase to fuel pump fell off, but it still ran, just was much harder to start. Even with that hose attached and clamped, and with a new pump costing over $100 it still starts hard. An electric fuel pump would get fuel to the empty float bowl quicker. If you shut it off hot you smell gas vapors immediately. I joined Weekend Freedom Machines website just to see what was wrong with the governor on this Onan. They press a nylon finger wheel onto a machined hub on the camshaft gear. Nylon, and ALL plastics grow when hot, the finger wheel slips and doesn't spin the steel ball bearings out against the spring loaded conical washer which opens/closes the throttle in the carb. Mowing into grass that gets taller the engine would pull down, but shove the throttle wide open and it would speed up instantly but would over speed when the load was reduced. Onan makes a finger wheel now I guess with a longer finger that engages a notch cast into the gear. Had the Onan stop on me once when mowing. Pulled the cover off the points. They looked like they had been dipped in 90W gear oil, covered in oil from hot oil vapor inside the crankcase. Cleaned the points and it started instantly. Tractor has been totally reliable, but I stopped using it because every time I ran it I felt the D-Day clock was ticking down to a catastrophic engine failure. OH, new points & condensers only lasted 50-60 hours and cost $100 from Onan.
