things went bad b2920 with 6.5 hours on it

[taos]

The oil level is still full and the fuel dropped alot i would say 3 liters or 3/4 of a us gallon in the aprox 4 minutes that this happened, the lawn were it happened is all black ,a spot aprox 6 feet by 3 feet even after it rained last night its still there the black smoke was bad from the exaust it reminded me like and old steam train running. the coolant level dropped aprox 10oz this why I would say i saw white smoke just before the engine died, today i tried to turn the engine by hand ,just a back and forth movement , the engine is not seized but i'm sure its damaged by the white smoke and the knocking I heard and the coolant drop when this happened.

I had a generator with faulty or dislodged rings that did that. Closinng the solenoid would only slow it down and eventually stop it.

today I took the day off and went to the dealer,when I told them of the situation ,the first thing they said was they never had this happen before and before I had the chance to say( I want a new tractor) they offered a new one and on top of that asked me if i needed a loaner,they came got the tractor in about a hour (very fast) and took it back to the dealer ,and said I would get my new one tomorow, later in the day I called to see what the problem was with the injection pump and they said they started the tractor and it did the same for them ,they killed the engine by unscrewing the fuel filter,and suspect the problem was with the injection pump i think he called the part (the rack)I was also told that the engine might be damaged and this is why they gave me a new tractor and was also told they would think kubota will want the engine and injection pump to see what went wrong, so they can make sure this doesn't happen again. I will follow up tomorow and let you all know what was the cause of this run away engine was. thanks for all your info and I will now install a fuel cut valve on the inlet to the fuel filter this will also serve as a duel purpose to shut fuel off when servicing fuel filter

We always sealed off the air intakes when this happened on the Big Duetz's with air throttles and air shut down solenoids.

I did a search for the valves and man you can't believe the price they want. Way out of hand!!

Taos I to just bought a new B2920 mine has 5 hours on it and yes it has a shut off for the fuel right next the fuel bowl. I dont think the dealer put this on so yours should have one. Love a dealer that brought out another new one to you!!:thumbsup:

Great to hear that they are giving you a new tractor. I have a 2920 as well. I'm going to get myself acquainted with the fuel shutoff location today!

Much better than getting a loaner while they rebuild your engine. Nice to see a dealer not hesitate and say they need to contact Kubota to do the right thing.
