Engine cutting out...Kubota B7800

Thomas · Dec 20, 2014

Not to long ago another B7800 owner had the same problem post here on TBN...try a search.
I'm thinking in the lines of bad fuel or crap in tank,maybe drain fuel flush tank and lines new fuel filter.

If you have any doubt, replace the fuel filter. It's just too cheap compared to the frustration of an un-diagnosed trouble. When you have old filter off, make sure you get a good flow from the tank.

On my B7800, if I lean too much one way or the other it will cut out. Seat switch issue. Search with the easiest answers first before you start taking things apart.

Same with my B7800. Now if it starts to cut out, I just shift my weight in the seat and all is good.

Good idea to bypass the switch?

I always like to keep my stuff original if possible so I would leave the switch alone unless it really bothered me. If I did by-pass it I would do it with a simple jumper wire so it could easily be reversed. Just my two cents on this.

I 'bypassed' the seat switch on my cub cadet lawn tractor. Actually it was more of a 'got around the problem' with the switch as it has about 6 wires and I couldn't figure which one to jump.

So I pulled the switch out of it's clip on the seat, pressed the 'button' to the closed position and wrapped some tape around it to keep it in the closed position.

Fortunately my Mahindra doesn't have the stupid switch.
