Another Kubota that won't start. Fuel filter?

   / Another Kubota that won't start. Fuel filter? #41  
Don't want to revive an old thread, but thanks to this thread I was able to fix my Kubota L4330 this weekend. I stalled and if I waited it would start and run for like 15 seconds and then die. First thing to check is if the fuel filter has fuel in it? If not then you have a clog somewhere between the tank and the filter. I removed the hose that feeds from the tank to the filter and nothing ran out, I knew I had an issue. I got a turkey baster from the kitchen (fits perfect) put the hose on the end of the turkey baster and forced air back up the line and then allowed the suction to happen. The fuel started flowing like a garden host after that. I drained the thank, filtered the fuel and ran it back through again. I used a flash light to look at the tank didn't look that dirty at all. I am going to get one of those cheap LCD inspection doodads fro Harbor Freight ( Digital Inspection Camera ) and drain the tank again and look it over. Thanks for posting everyone, saved me a lot of time.
