My kubota M 6800 randomly starts chugging and then shuts off. I go thru the bleeding air process and it fires right up again and runs fine until the next time. I have removed both tanks and plan to replace all fuel lines while it's disassembled. I see trash in the tanks so I need to clean them well. The fuel filter was new and looks clean. Am I doing the right thing to try to fix this? Could the fuel pump be bad? Or is the trash I see blocking flow? The tractor was run last year for a day with the fuel cap off so I am sure this caused some trash to enter the tank. Could this cause the problem? Or do I have an air leak somewhere?
What's the best way to flush and clean the tanks? I have already removed all hoses and the fuel sending unit.
