two problems with 318

My first problem is the reserve tank will not kick in when I flip the switch over. Could that be a fuse? Second problem is the chute for the Trac Vac keeps flipping off the mower deck. I have a lot of rough ground and I am constantly having to shut down mower deck and reattach the Trac Vac chute. Any clever ways of keeping it in place without bolting it down.

The fuel valve on my 318 is not electric, it is a manual 3 way valve, fuel on, reserve, fuel off. Yours should be the same way unless someone has added a aftermarket switch. Hope this helps.......

I have a manual for the 318. When I get the chance, I'll look into it.
