Ok, so I borrowed my neighbor's borrowed SVL75 to do some yard cleaning. Everything was going great for about 2 hours till it lost power, stumbled a bit then stalled. Talked to the neighbor and he said it has done it to him a few times. It's his bosses and it apparently doesn't get used much. I'm suspecting bad fuel or trash in the tank, maybe algae. I found some algae in the water separator, but that could be just from a little water in the separator. The screen looked clean, air filter is not blocked. It's got 340 hours on it.
When I reassembled the separator and turned the fuel valve on nothing happened. I turned the lift pump on and it slowly started to fill. I know nothing about kabotas or the track loader, but I would have expected it to fill quickly. My next thought is to pull the line off and see how fast the fuel comes out. There's about 1/2 a tank.
Thoughts? I'm an A&P mechanic, so I'd feel a little more at home if it had wings and went a bit faster...
Thanks,
David
