Loosing Power on 2320

scrappy isb67 · Nov 1, 2011

Have you checked the fuel line running from the tank to the FF? you could have a piece of trash partially plugging the line in/from the tank. How much fuel is in it when it dies? does it happen at all fuel levels or only when it is low?
another possibility is that the fuel pump on the side if the IP is bad.

I don't believe it is an overheating issue or it would be happening alot quicker than 2hrs of run time.

After re-reading what the OP is describing and what he has been doing, I'm thinking this is an issue with the HST tranny. Killing the engine similar to pushing harder on the forward pedal when there is a load already on the tranny. The confusing part is he says it happens in both gear ranges.
Maybe happening because of hyd. filter or some adjustment in the tranny swash plates (or something). Just have a hunch it is not in the engine end of the system.

I believe he said "loosed power quickly dissipates. Could be dangerous til then." :confused2:

Still doing this.

I had something similar happen on my 4010. On it, cold weather had caused some wax to come out of the fuel. The globs of wax partly plugged the fuel outlet from the fuel tank. I siphoned the tank and fished out the globs. Problem solved.

Wondered if you have resesolved the issue. Would like to hear the results.

Problem has gotten worse. Lat weekend, It ran for about 1/2 hour without problem, and then it started loosing power again. In the past, I would let it sit for an hour or so and it would be OK, but not this time. It sat overnight, and then would start and only run for 10-120 seconds before it would die.

I talked to the dealer, and he thinks it is related to the fuel delivery/pump system. He is coming to get it next week. I will post the outcome.
