Fuel issues.

[emadams]

My bx is having fuel issues. 2680 with 60" mower deck. While mowing the engine loses rpm almost to stall. Shut off mower it will correct but will still starve while operating. Changed filter and ran fine for a month but problem returned. So I am thinking the in line fuel sending unit or fuel pump. Only 184 hours on it tho. Any suggestions or insight?

Loosen your fuel tank filler-cap…and see if that doesn’t resolve the problem.

If it does….your cap vent is plugged.

Filter?

If the 2680 is like my 23s, There are 2 fuel filters.
one at the engine and one under the tractor.

Have you checked your air filter?

2 fuel filters and a lift pump
Pull the fuel infeed line off the injection pump and check for good flow.

Make sure you have the "ticking" sound during glow plugs key on!

These BX machines will run WITHOUT the lift pump working....... with more than a 1/2 tank of fuel.
