- Mahindra 3016 HST
Hi Everyone;
First post, hope you good guys can help. I have a 2013 Mahindra 3016 HST. 230 hours on the clock. I have a fuel related lack of power(runs fine for anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes) I did all the normal stuff(I am a certified auto mechanic, no diesel experience)fuel filter, air filter, fuel flow from tank, fuel pump etc etc. starts out fine then loses power, EAO and barely moves. Slowes an idle then revs back up but no power. Check stop solenoid, seems good, does get hot so
I backed it all the way out so it did not work at all. Still no good. Just as a fluke I pinched off the fuel return line to the tank, where it exits the fuel rail and viola it runs great. So what can the issue be? Is there another valve/restricter I am missing in my search? I sure do hope someone can lead me to the issue.
