I am not certain what the original problem was. While cutting hay my M9000 would loose power and smother down like it was going to stall. It would clear up for a few minutes then do it again. I limped along and finished cutting hay. Today I drained both tanks, removed the crossover (which was clean) blew out all the lines and vents and replaced the fuel and separator filters. I put 10 gallons of fuel from another source and the tractor is now running fine.
The separator was crushed inward. I did not see any obvious water in the fuel although I had earlier in the day filled the tank from my transfer which I had just filled at a local station. I am going to try a closer inspection of fuel from the transfer tank tomorrow.
Here is my main question: I service every spring and, because I could not source a wire screen filter, I used a paper filter in the separator. Has anyone else done this and ran into similar problems? This was my 4th or 5th tank of fuel on this filter.
