    In all of my Takeuchi machines, clogging of the fuel line has occurred. Remove inlet line from the water separator and lower the hose toward the ground. Fuel should run out. If not, blow air through (with tank cap off). If still clogged, the outlet on the bottom the tank is restricted. When all of that checks out, remove the separator, disassemble it, and verify no blockage.

    By "checked if lift pump is working" did you check that fuel was flowing or just that it was making noise?

    Fuel pump in there is a "rattler". Louder rattle when fuel isn't present.

    I'd also inspect the fuel shutoff solenoid. I had a wiring issue on my tl140
