I have an early KX-36/41 (not sure which because ROPS says 36 but the sticker on the side of the frame says 41). Everything on it works fine but after running it for a while it starts to randomly lose power and bog like it wants to die. The machine has good power otherwise and this doesn't start until you've got the machine pretty warm.
I already looked up threads covering this before posting this one. Any suggestions on what to look at that would cause this random problem would be appreciated. I cannot reliably make it happen by actuating any of the controls. Last time I was using it it would randomly slow down during traveling on flat ground for a few seconds. Backing off the throttle then putting it back on full throttle would make it work again, but I have no idea what to look at.
The dealer I bought it from did service to it but I'm not sure if the fuel filter was changed yet...... with that said I don't think a dirty fuel filter will create this "random" problem under constant load. A dirty filter should be a constant problem under every load.... so I'm not likely to believe that is the case but I'm here to ask for help so I'm all ears.
Thank you for reading.
