    C15 starting issues

    Update- i took the filter housing completely apart, cleaned and inspected everything and put an oring on the end of the bleeder screw. I was getting better fuel pressure but only running about 65-75 at idle. I put clear hoses inline to make sure I wasn’t sucking air and getting adequate fuel to...

    C15 starting issues

    I pulled the filter housing off and removed everything from it and found what appeared to be the “bleeder bolt” to be missing an oring on the tip of it. I put an oring on it and now I’m building 35-45psi while cranking but it still will not start without a little shot of ether

    C15 starting issues

    I capped off the line coming from the back of the head that goes back to filter housing, cranked it over and I’m still getting fuel returning to the tank? Would this indicate a internal crack on the filter housing? Could it be leaking by on the hand primer?

    C15 starting issues

    Yes sir, I have replaced this twice as I was told on another forum I could have bought a bad one. What doesn’t make sense to me is why it’s returning to the tank so easily

    C15 starting issues

    I just purchased a 2005 Pete 379 with a c15 acert. It will not start without a little ether. After some research I read that a common problem was the check valve in the filter head. I’ve replaced both check valves twice with no luck. You can hand prime the pump and you can hear the fuel...

    Kx121-3st auto idle problems

    The other day my operator left the key to our kubota kx121-3st excavator at his house, so he tried all the equipment keys that he had with him. He was able to get the ignition to turn and the screen and fuel pump to come on but the starter would never engage. Of course it hung in this position...

    T190 Motor history help

    I’ve been looking at buying a T190 and can’t seen to find a solid answer on what years the different motors were offered. Can anyone confirm what year the V2003 , v2403 and the v2607 were used. I found what is said to be a 2007 T190 but the tag on the motor says it’s a V2003 and I was under the...

You can move the joystick a little and nothing. If you push it all the way in the direction your wanting to go it will...
