2014 Kubota BX1870 Tractor - Engine bogging down and stalling.

BX engines are high pressure common rails so the injectors are a little less delicate but I still think any cleaning or rebuilding of them should be done by a shop. If you take a fuel line off up near the engine does fuel flow freely?

A question. There is a yellow light in the middle of your dash in your video. Looks like a fuel warning light. What does that mean?

Yellow light is fuel low indicator, I only put about 1/2 gallon of fuel in it in case I needed to drain it. It is well over the fuel outlet.

What I’m really trying to get you to do is make 100% sure you are getting fuel to the main injection pump before you start taking injectors out. The best way is to take a fuel line off as far forward as possible and make sure it flows out by gravity. When I had a BX and had filters plugging up from fuel gelling the outlet side of the filter didn’t hardly let any fuel out but once the filter was removed fuel poured out. You tractor sounds exactly like mine did when the fuel gelled in the filter.

Thank you all for your feedback and help. I am happy to report that I just plowed snow for an hour and a half, and it ran perfectly the entire time. I am not sure what happened, my theory is maybe I did not get the fuel system bled enough, or there was some kind of obstruction that worked it 's way out. Thanks again.

It "should" self-bleed once you turn on the key, the electric pump should start clicking/pumping, and return any unused fuel to the tank ...

But glad it's working, sure beats using a shovel!
