Every morning I've been trying to figure out what tge problem was until last week when I pulled the fuel line going into the fuel water separator and...

    CAT 325c Engine bogs down when using hydraulics

    I'm not sure on yours or if you even have one but mine was in the metal fuel cap. I had two screws to pull out and then it all came apart. They were on the underside of the fuel cap. Ill get a picture when I get to my jobsite. They were small maybe 1/8" holes you could see from the underside...

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    Yesterday morning I took the fuel cap apart, it had some rust on it. I cleaned everything up on it. It's a pretty complex cap. It has a check valve that let's air in and one that let's air out. They were both a little gummed up and stiff. I lubed it and cleaned it all and put it back together...

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    Thanks, today I climbed almost a 1 to 1 slope gently, It pulled it no problem but once I got to the top about 25 feet in elevation change and leveled out it died. Started it back up and it died again. Turned the key to prime it and then started it and it ran fine again. Did the same thing...

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    Still having issues abd getting worse. Machine does fine in the morning when it's cold or on a cold day. Towards the afternoon on a hot day it will stall out several times. Seems to get worse as things get hot. I'm thinking there is a Crack in something that is expanding?

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    So it did its regen, took over an hour. It seemed to get better. I've been trying to play with it and see exactly when it wants to stall and it's definitely when it's under heavy load. Pushing a pile with the blade while either spinning or moving the boom it will die out. Seems like it starves...

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    Tank is usually close to full. Fill it about daily. I've worked on an incline for a bit with no issue. This morning I drained the water separator and also swapped the fuel filter just to see. I'm digging and 12 feet deep in hard ground and it will die out when im putting a lot of pressure on it...

    Bobcat e85 stall issue

    Hi guys, hoping for some knowledge. I bought a 2016 bobcat e85 a couple months back. It's been a good machine but when I climb fairly steep inclines whether it's up or down about 10 seconds after I get level again it will die as if I shut the key off. I do fine grading in a subdivision and it...

    Cat 246 auxiliary hydraulics randomly engage
