Hello,
I recently purchased a Kubota b6000. I was very happy with it running strong on the gas it came with. Then I put some diesel in. Unfortunately it was not made clear to me that the original engine had been replaced with a WG600-B GASOLINE engine. (I should have realized this -- but I did not)
Needless to say the engine stopped and then the next day I discovered why. I flushed out all the diesel put in new plugs and a fuel filter, and it started right up. However now it has developed a weird problem. If I start it up it will run real strong for like 10 minutes. Then it dies. After that it will only run on dead idil for a bit, then nothing. You can crank it and it will spurt and backfire and might even turn over but not run for more then a few seconds.
Let it sit over night -- pull the plugs clean them and repeat. Seems like the fuel is not being burned off, so I suspect fouled plugs. Should I get new wires while Im at it?
Any ideas what I can do to stop this cycle. The tractor is not much good 10 minutes at a time.
