hmmm....haven't looked at my 2 tractors in a while, but thought they were 4 Cyls? Yeah holding the throttle open didn't help much either. And agree, mystery as to why it did this just because it sat for about 18 months. I can see it IF the tank went dry, but it did not. Im about to relocate it...

Sorry, did not mean to sound confusing. With this being a tractor forum, wanted to clearly explain this was not a tractor, rather a side by side UTV. But engine wise identical to my tractors. The engine in the Kubota RTV is a 3 cyl diesel. Overall, mechanically looks identical to the engine...

Ive been a long time member here but with my tractors. Always have seemed to be lots of folks here that really know the kubota products, as well as good with diesel maintenance. Figuring the issue I am seeing with my new RTV is very similar to if it were a 3 cyl diesel tractor. All sure looks...

I modified the plate so that it can come off without pulling the tank. Valve cover in/out was not issue at all with the plate out.

Yes thought about that big plate maybe allowing enough, 2 bolts, but the main fuel lines goes through it and would have to drain a full tank if just moving it around isnt enough. BUT that's better than fully removing the tank if I don't have to. Got some bad diesel a year or two back and fully...

Its about time to inspect/adjust the valves on my L3200. 1st time, and Ive had since new. I have the hood off, all bolts out of the valve cover but it wont come off due to the Fuel tank hitting the back part of it. Before spending hours probably taking off more than I need to, anyone got any...

I have had a landscape rake for years, great for heavy debri but tears up the /grass/soil too much for leaf work. I recently bought a Pinestraw rake....NOW THAT I wish I had for years. does a great job on most average to small limb debri, does great on leaves with exception of the smaller white...

Kroil cant be beat.....But if you can soak it, a can of Coka Cola can also work wonders on rusted up things.

Thanks for the continued replies. Now that I have the flow info, I know what range of controls to spec, However was looking at an electric over hydraulic approach rather than an added Control stick. I just have not decided which route to go on that. I did another post looking for overall...

RCW, thank you very much for the quick reply AND the link, I didnt have that one (Good info)

Does anyone out there happen to know the Hydraulic flow capacity of an L3200? Looking at adding remote hydraulics to my L3200 and find kits that are for 1 of 2 range hydraulic systems those below 15gpm and those above. Thanks for any feedback.

no feedback please delete

After a few hours of running with the diesel Kleen all is back to normal.

Have you completely drained you tank to insure all the dirty fuel has been removed? Twice Ive had to in the last year. Last time removed the tank so I could clean it as much as possible. Even flushed all the lines with carb cleaner and air. Have you used any conditioner in your fuel to help...

Many thanks for the tip and reminder....I actaully had one of those a few years back, and of all things ran over it and crushed it with my old tractor.:eek:...need to get another. But right now need to get this stubborn crank feature fixed.
