What a day!
I had a day off from work yesterday, so I decided to get my bx2200 ready for the summer. I changed the oil/filter, coolant, air filter, and fuel filters. It took a little over an hour and done?.nope. Hop on the tractor, it won稚 start. My first thought was the fuel filters. Why? I usually order Kubota parts, but this time I decided to simplify and order everything from amazon.
I got a Stens 100-533 air filter and two Stens 120-678 fuel filters. When I got the order, I noticed the one fuel filter was an Oregon brand with the Stens number wrote (in pen) on it. I wasn稚 thrilled, but figured it would work. I guess they don稚.
I put the original fuel filters back on and the tractor ran fine. I also noticed that the Stens brand was larger than the Kubota and did not fit in the clamp. The Oregon brand had a larger lip on the inlet and outlet and was very tough to get on (and off).
I wonder if they were just defective or the wrong filter? It just seemed very strange to me. I did notice the filter that is closest to the engine was only filling up half full. The Oregon filter was clear plastic so I could see it clearly.
Anyway, I tried to save some time and shipping costs and ended up messing around way more than necessary!
Lesson learned.
