Hi, I know a similar question has been asked before but it didn’t give proper answer.
my cat 301.5 dogs fairly well, tracks well, but the only problem is when I put an excessive load on the machine it stalls, the worst service is the dipper arm, if I’m pulling the dipper back and try to crowd the bucket at the same time it stalls the machine pretty much straight away. I have learnt to deal with it when working with the machine but it makes jobs a lot slower than they need to be. My first thought could be fuelling but it’s recently had a new lift pump and doesn’t struggle to start. Any ideas?
