got a 259 b3 1000 hrs. took to dealer, randomly developed a miss, lost power, a little blue smoke, slowed to a crawl. let off throttle, cleared up, ran fine no smoke. would randomly do this. dealer checked all fuel pressure, good, pump pressure good, injectors fine. replaced fuel filter, rebuilt injection pump, ran overhead, set valves. still random. replaced turbo, saw minor wear, they were finally told to adjust pump timing 3degrees. seemed to work. they also replaced the pilot valve under joystick, it was seaping oil.
got it home. ran good for a half hour or so, did the same thing. Starts to slow down to a crawl, seams to run ok, no blue smoke.
Almost stops if i raise the bucket while moving forward. if it sits for a few minutes it will take off but its not near as fast as it should be. where do i start looking? dealer is clue less on this one.
