About two weeks ago I was stationary and backhoing when the engine started to die under load. Not any consistency but a randomness. It did seem like you could almost control it at times by applying and removing load. First I changed the fuel filters at 200 hours they had never been done. This had no results. Then I thought there must be water in the fuel. I drained it with a siphon, added some water remover and fresh fuel to no avail. I don't think I got it all out, however, so yesterday I drove the right rear wheel over a log and siphoned out all the fuel until I was sure it was dry. I added more water remover and fresh fuel and at first it seemed to run fine (it does this however) and then just driving along at 2200 RPM's it began to intermittently die on me. What's going on here? I do have a Fleetguard air restriction minder installed and the fear or contamination getting in there crossed my mind, but it has a fine mesh screen of its own on the brass right angle connector and I am convinced there is a second intended blockage in the filter housing where the tap is located that I have to remove to even get the indicator to register anything, anyway.
I know some of you have experienced this before but any of the threads I searched seemed to fail to have any conclusive postings, instead making there way into history. Is it that bad?
One other note, I am sure it isn't the seat switch as I have the Woods BH6000 and there mechanism to allow the seat to swivel dismisses the functionality of the switch altogether.
Help, please!
