7520 chokes out when I disengage clutch

[ehud]

My Mahindra 7520 chokes down and quits when I disengage my clutch. It started by just choking a little at mid release of the clutch. Now It just wont stay running. checked fluids. Any suggestions?

What are you meaning by disengage? Are you pushing the clutch down to put it in gear or to come to a stop? ... Or are you letting the clutch out to move ahead?

Sounds like maybe the clutch linkage is pinching a fuel line.

When I let up on the clutch it chokes, like it is not getting fuel. I push down on the throttle, but the engine RPMs do not increase--but this was intermittant, and a little random until today. Now I can not release the clutch without it dying on me.

So, as clutch starts to engage and engine takes a load it stalls? ... It sounds like a fuel problem; water in your filter, water or blockage at the pickup in tank, badly pinched line, etc. If you can get it running add a gallon of fuel heavily laced with fuel conditioner and just let it sit there and run for an hour while you check over the topside tank connections for air leaks and trace the lines for a pinch or loose fitting at the filter or pump. [Youll have to take off the left engine cover.] The conditioner alone should improve it if its water causing it.
