Hi all, just wondering if I知 on the right track with solving this new issue with my tractor,
I was using my yanmar 1500 to do some brush hogging and it was losing power, running hotter than usual, and something sounded off and clunky so I turned it off and opened it up and white smoke was coming from the front of the engine. I couldn稚 tell where exactly and it wasn稚 heavy smoke but it kept smoking for several minutes. Today I was going to try and start it up but the decompression would not stick at all, I would pull the lever down and it would not lock in place. I noticed the fuel filter needs a change, could this be the culprit (or something worse due to waiting too long to change it?).
Thanks in advance.
