    Kubota U25 Stalling - Need Help!

    I have a Kubota u25. Starts and runs fine. After several minutes and at no specific interval, it will suddenly loose all power and choke out. I have replaced the fuel filter, and we cleaned out the separator cup. Anything else I should look at? Fuel Pump? Thanks!
