Lp gas blues

My 3010 propane will not start unless you spray a little carb cleaner into the intake, runs good after that. Turn it off only a minute and it no start until you sprey it. Any ideas what to check.

Ran my JD 70LP Friday. Had to choke it longer than usual to start. Probably about 50F.

just a suggestion but i bought a 3010 lp one time cheap because it wasnt running.
did everything and finally took off the carb. found out that someone else previously had it off and used silicone instead of
a gasket. plugged up an air passage that would not allow it to run. i peeled off the silicone, got a new gasket and it started and
ran like a top.
obviously your tractor is not getting fuel to start. start there.

Had a 4010lp. Absolutely worst starting tractor in the world! Neighbor had 2 4020s on lp. Ask him how he started them. He carried a squirt can of gasoline. Had a petcock on intake, I put a carburetor, gasoline on mine. Wrapped just above carb with copper tubing and wrapped with high heat tape. Took plug out of top of tank and filled with gasoline. Put a fuel pump on the liquid line. Use vapor line for a vent.
