I have been doing a lot of driving in the snow at our farm the last week for basic chores and I am having trouble with it. When i hit the gas it seems to only have about half my power. IT sounds like it is missing really bad. I just had a new ignition and plugs about a year ago so I hope it's not that. One thing I might add is that I did let the tank go almost empty right before it got bad. I have ran her low before but it took about 20+ gallons. It has never taken that much, so i figured I ran it took low and it sucked the dirt or grime off the bottom. BEFORE it wasn't to bad i put some dry gas into it but that didnt help. I then put some injector cleaner in next, still no luck. ANy suggestions or help? If you have any ideas please post. It acts like its not getting fuel...never happened before, and it's ironic that it happened when I ran it empty...

You could also look at the ignition wires or coils. What do you mean by "new ignition and plugs"?

The manual for my '98 lists a 24 gallon tank. I can confirm that tank size because that is exactly how much it took to fill it up when I ran the tank dry once. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Actually, it only filled up to 23.98 or something like that... but close enough!
EDIT: Just so I'm contributing something, I'll back up previous comments and suggest a new fuel filter. Its an amazing difference.
