BX2380 engine / fuel issue?

[Kubota in PA]

I'd run for 5 minutes,probably a lot of unspent fuel in the cylinders and needs to be cleared out'.

So I got it started, it even smoothed out a little bit about 5 minutes into letting the engine run. When it sounded close to normal, I tried to throttle up a little, but no change at all. I could see the throttle lever engaging, but no change to the RPM. At nearly 10 minutes on my timer, I tried to increase the throttle again, but it started to rattle harder so I shut it off.

You didn't install the filter backwards, did you?

There are TWO filters, one between tank and lift pump, 2nd between lift pump and Inj pump.
Assuming BX2380 is same as my BX23S.

I've swapped both filters and have installed them same direction as the previous ones.

Dealer called me tonight and is sending a tech tomorrow. But I appreciate any other suggestions and will keep you posted.

Glad he's coming out cause I'm at a loss to understand what's going on. Hopefully his 'bag of tricks' and 'magic wand' will get her up and running, right !!!!

hmm, any chance the power connector for the lift pump is disconnected ? Last filter change mine was ! Have no idea how long but engine ran fine.......

I have to ask this question, only because it just happened to me.
Did you buy those filters from Kubota? Or and auto parts store!

I had a tech come up last fall. I had him service my tractor (bx-2680) and he used auto parts!!! Two auto parts fuel filter and an auto oil filter for the hydralics.

Diesel is considerably denser than gasoline and will not flow through an auto filter correctly. In fact, it caused my fuel pump to burn up because it had to work so hard to push the fluid. When you get it running, reach under and see if your fuel pump (between the filters) is hot to touch.
