Good late Friday evening!
Got a little head scratcher going on..
My little 3400 is having power loss when going uphill..
It happened before.. and I’m wondering what else I can do..
Last time I was sure it was a fungus growth in the tank.. so I put a helping of bio clean in, changed the fuel filter, and it seemed better.. now 2 years later, it appears to be back..
Changed the fuel filter again.. and fuel came out dark brown/black!
Changed the air filters…
Found nothing in the tank with my magnet..
I was expecting something rusty…
I’ve got a whole new fuel filter body inbound.. and new air filters.
Oil is about 8 months old, but it has sat and only run maybe 25 hours in the last year..
Hydro and filters are about 8 months old too..
What else should I do/check?
I want to lick this issue as I’m about to do some serious brush clearing…
Got a used squealer 600 for a good deal…
And 4 acres to clear….
We’ll likely only clear 2 at most..
Thanks!
