My L3430 stays at property I own a couple of hours from my primary residence. It has around 700 hours, and has been trouble free since I bought it used about 8-9 years ago. I only put 50-75 hours a year on it.
I do my own maintenance which is primarily just oil changes and greasing. One thing I have let slip through the cracks is changing the fuel filter. Well I finally remembered to buy a filter and did the change today. The old filter was quite dirty, and there was some sludge in the bowl. Even with the new filter and clean bowl, I didn't notice any change in the way it ran, but I will do my best to remember to make a yearly change.
Does anyone think there is likely an residual damage from my inattention? Do you think I should run an injector cleaner in the next tank of fuel? If so, any recommended brand?
