F series Engine RPM's

Update:

Dealer didn't find anything. Everything spec'd out and flow meter showed it was on the mark as well as having a belt adjusted correctly. Still doesn't sound right and I can feel it surging. Related to when the accelerator is about half-way down and rpms in the 2100-2350 range mostly.

It has plenty of power, does good on fuel, runs fine, etc. so maybe it's just normal. Wish there was someone else nearby with an F series so I could get a second opinion but it doesn't sound the same as my B series.

Re: F series Engine RPM's -Update

I contacted Bobcat on the recommendation of my service manager.

Spec-wise, everything checks out but everyone I work with says it sounds like it is revving or "chugging" like a choo-choo . I know it doesn't sound right. It's got plenty of power but when it starts, it rough idles more than my other kubota motors (s750, 335 ex) and smokes. It smooths out after a minute or two. I was thinking it's not getting a complete burn of fuel when it starts but it's not white smoke like my big cummins diesel belched when it first started up.

Anyway, I'll post updates as I get them in case anyone else is troubleshooting a similar issue.
