Kubota B3030 Loses power randomly, quits then restarts just fine

Bear I go along with fuel, and I know by this time you are banging your head against a wall. But I will ask if you checked the fuel lines them selves, they do get soft and will collapse or restrict flow. Just a thought, I do hope you get it running, and welcome to the orange

So, I think I need a new gas cap?

No, try unscrewing it a little, so air can get around the threads, to determine whether you need a new FUEL cap. If the tractor doesn't stave it self from fuel and runs fine for 30 minutes to an hour... it might be the reason!

You really need to stop referring to the fuel tank and cap as “Gas”. If you don’t then people including yourself think that you are putting gas in your tractor not diesel. You didn’t put gas in your tractor did you?

What do you think based on what I have shared????

I am sorry if I offended anyone, but I wish my posts were fully read and not criticized.
Please read post #1 . . .
" -drained and cleaned fuel tank and fuel lines" Yes, the tank was totally removed, cleaned, as well as all the fuel lines. Fuel flow is excellent. On a positive note, I think "
old and tired" has solved this issue for now.

Bear15,
I think your missing everyone's point, it not criticism its linguistics.
They are saying with a diesel you do not use the term "GAS" you should use the term Fuel or diesel never "GAS".
As gas implies gasoline, and in a diesel that's BAD!
Yes a blocked vent on a fuel cap can most certainly cause your issues.
I read your first submission " I changed the fuel cup", and when I read it, my brain read fuel CAP, so I never mentioned it.

Good to hear you got it figured out!
