The Kubota diesel engine on my Woodmizer Super Duty sawmill runs fine for about 30 seconds(when I first start it up) then it just quits running(like it was out of fuel). I have changed the fuel filter. I have bled the lines and gotten fuel coming out of the line returning to the tank(I haven't checked to see if I have fuel to the injectors). I need help on this-I've got several logs on site to be sawn for a customer. Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks

With a diesel it is usually fuel issues that makes them quit. Does it have an electric shut off?

Sounds like it is out of fuel. I assume that you've repeated this sequence several times --- i.e. runs for 30 seconds then quits??? Yes??? If so, check the tank for restrictions leaving the tank. May be partially plugged fuel line ------

Also, check the fuel tanks vent. If it is stopped up, it could prevent fuel from flowing freely to the engine. Good luck and let us know what you find.
