    Mike, That’s great news regarding another Grand L3240 project coming your way. I’m extremely pleased with the drive performance and the PTO power is exceptionally impressive, even at 8700ft elevation. I haven’t had a chance to turn up the injection pump yet, but in a few weeks I’ll give the...

    Good morning fellow Gearheads, Well got the Orange Angry Dragon up to 8700ft of elevation for some testing. Well, right out of the gate I experienced the same Damb power loss, same engine surge just with a lot more power from the turbo kit :(. After a few colorful words and a conversation with...

    Update: Installed a new fuel pump and that my friends fixed all the power loss issues. Even at 8700 ft elevation the newly Turbocharged L3240 chewed through logs effortlessly with 6psi boost.

    L3240 ( HELP!!!! ) POWER LOSS, SURGES and BLUE SMOKE

    You could be right. After applying a head psi to the fuel tank during the power Surging operation, the power surging clears up and then again returns when tank head psi is removed. So Kubota tech is thinking we have a fuel pump with a crack in the internal bellows. We will install a new fuel...

    L3240 ( HELP!!!! ) POWER LOSS, SURGES and BLUE SMOKE

    Guys, Quick question. I can’t attach a video to this forum of my injection pump cranking operation with fuel lines removed, but I will attach a photo. All 3 injection pump ports only burp fuel about 1/4” high, this doesn’t seem normal. I have seen BX 3 cylinders shoot fuel across the shop in...

    L3240 ( HELP!!!! ) POWER LOSS, SURGES and BLUE SMOKE

    Thanks for the insight. Gotta get to the bottom of this hopefully rather sooner than later. 800hrs on the clock and the machine will run great great and then the performance goes sideways, then turn PTO off back the throttle down and it will run smooth as a kitten again. Head scratcher for sure.

    L4240HSTC-3 Turbo upfit-upgrade?

    Mike, Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve been researching the S2T performance L2501 kit and the L3240 is basically identical. Where it gets interesting is getting the compressor pipe over top of the AC Compressor, who put that ac compressor right in the middle anyways 😎. I think I’m going go...
