We like the story to have a happy ending!!
Good morning all,
Well, I ordered a new pump, after a couple of tries my KUBOTA 1140 is running great; I had some difficulty installing the pump as I didn't line up the pump's rack to the grove inside the governor fork? had to take the pump off again a couple of times until got it right, primed the pump, made sure it was spitting fuel out of the 3 outlets(and then made sure it wasn't pushing fuel while cranking with the switch off) bleed the lines into the injectors and then it fired right up... day and night difference on the performance... the hill I had to drop to low gear to climb at just 4-5 MPH now I can climb in Hi gear at 10-12 MPH.
With assembling and disassembling this thing, now I feel very confident to even rebuilding the pump, I have my old one which I ordered the part which was broken off and will save it as a spare.
Next quest will be hopefully adding more power to my 1140, maybe bigger plungers and a turbo with bigger tires to see if I can achieve the 30 MPH mark???...will be saving some money before then...I spent $3400 bucks on my KUBOTA (price tag/buying it and $450 for the new pump) it is a 2016 so not sure if I'm ahead or upside down on it but, it have what I wanted a diesel UTV...
Steering seems loose, have some play/slack so that's another thing I need to work on...also need to buy a windshield among other little things...
Any further pointers please feel free to chime in.
