Hi Everyone,
I have a 2005 L3130 which I purchased last year. This sping when I attempted to get out and use it, I could not get the tractor to start.
I have gone through the process of "bleeding the injection system"
and have fuel to the injectors.
The tractor wants to start but I seems to be having and electrical interupt issue and will not operate.
I have been a mechanic for 40 years and feel confident in my diagnosis and my ability to bleed the system as outlined in the manuel and on this site by Vic.
I feel extremely frustrated with the situation as even contacting Kubota's customer service was short and demeaning. I also feel cheated with a tractor which has 126 hours will not start. I cannot understand how the manufacturer in the design could have had a DOA failure within that short life cycle. I understand that the tractor is,," 4 Years old" but to not start after 2 days of fuel updates and filter replacements and the bleeding process disturbs the ideal of customer satisfaction. In our current society it seems that quality and integrity from a company has gone astray.
If a electrical failure has occurred I feel this would be extremly premature toward a reliabily issue due to all eletrical switches have a 5K to 10K reliability rating.
I honestly feel that I have purchased a lemon, not an orange! I should have gone "Green"
