My CK20 HST has recently been giving me trouble. Has been running like a champ, but now it is intermittently losing power.

It will start up no problem, and run strong for a bit, but then act like I am pulling the throttle way down. Wait a bit, then it will run strong again. Then loses rpm's?

Any ideas?

I would start with the fuel filter. How cold has it been in your area? Diesel will wax up when real cold. As a desert rat, I couldn't tell you how cold it needs to be for this to happen, but there are additives that could help. But my first guess is a clogged filter.

Sandlot is spot on. Your description sounds just like a clogged fuel filter.

I agree with the other 2. Desiels loose power when the filter is clogged unlike a gas that will just choke off. If that doesnt solve it then you may have some clogged injectors.

Let us know after you change fuel filter and check air filter how it goes.
