Am in a fairly desperate situation. Took two days off work and planned to work the weekend to get potatoes in the ground. This morning my L 2201 DT gray market diesel Kubota was running fine and then slowed and died. I'm in Canada and this is a long weekend holiday so the dealer won't be open again until Tuesday.
Back to the problem. At first I thought I'd run out of fuel, but no there was still plenty.
I tried restarting it and it would start and then immediately fade and die.
Then I thought the fuel line is clogged at the fuel filter (which had not been changed in a long while). So, I changed the filter and tried to bleed the injector lines. Wasn't able to get fuel coming out of the lines before the battery gave out.
I'll greatly appreciate any help you can give.
Can someone help. Is fuel the only problem it could be? I thought once a diesel's started it doesn't need any electrical system to keep it going.
Is the a fuel pump to check?
