    L6060 hard to start and stalls

    Well - Well - Well !!!! Bingo! The elbow had significant debris ... I removed the head from the tractor - disassembled the cut off valve and cleaned, and cleaned and cleaned some more. As soon as i reassembled the water separator and turned the fuel on, and saw how quickly the water separator...

    L6060 hard to start and stalls

    How interesting!, Thanks for the response ... I am using only Kubota parts ... by way of an update ... once i put a load on the tractor it crapped out again ... I am thinking my next step would be to replace the lifter pump ... the long steady idling without a load (even at different rpm...

    North Idaho Wolfman, what were you thinking would happen when you suggested priming the system? were you thinking it was trapped air in the system - or applying pressure to a blockage? I'm not saying its fixed but at least it shows some signs of life ... time will tell I guess.

    L6060 hard to start and stalls

    2019 L6060 has gotten progressively worse … at first it would run for an hour then lose power and stall out. Let it sit 15 minutes the it would restart, run for 45 minutes and lose power and die. Now it is almost impossible to start. And will only run for 3 minutes then stall out. The diesel is...
