can you help me? Any suggestions about why my kubota is not running well. It start but struggles to run. I have changed the fuel lift pump and filter. I have bled the system it only has 580 hours on it. I plan on replacing all the fuel and trying a fuel conditioner

James, is there two fuel filters on those?

 

[300UGUY]

How old is the fuel? How do know it's the fuel? Did you run it out of fuel?

Details, man , details!

Btw post on the Kubota forum. You will find lots of help,but you have to give info.

No it is just like the Kioti. just one fuel filter. but you can have 2 air filters. an inner and outer. That is an option. It is probably growth in the fuel or something like that, but It would not hurt to check the air filtration too.

hey guys...fuel was put in about 3 weeks ago, air filter is good. it was fine one day. problem mightve started after the last fill but not sure. the fill was from the same location that i was filling from for years. i dont run it out of fuel.

thanks a bunch I have the tractor working now. I removed the tank and flushed it, and replaced fuel with fresh diesel. seems good now. a mechanic suggested to remove the injection pump next but your idea worked.

Must be some stations are selling some really lousy fuel here lately, There have been several reports of bad fuel.
