I was running my G1800 at full throttle, sitting still, and the engine suddenly slowed up like it was under a heavy load or not getting enough fuel. I backed the throttle off, which seemed to help, and pushed it back to full. It seemed normal. It did the same thing again but under load. I was mowing some heavy grass 8-10 inches high, and moving at maybe 2/3 speed. Engine acted like under too much load or not enough fuel. I slowed my forward speed, engine recovered. Sped up and it did it again.
I just bought the tractor used with 800 hrs, seems to have been well maintained. Both fuel filters are new. Engine starts immediately after glow plug light goes off. I am still learning about diesels and have no clue why it is doing this. It was fine the rest of the two hours I mowed if I didn't push it. I know it's only a 16hp engine and a 1000 lb tractor, but surely Kubota sized the engine to handle the grass cutting load I gave it.
Would really appreciate some help on what the check next. Thank you.
