We have a CAT 303.5D CR that had air in the fuel, after fixing that issue the machine will start and run normally but once it is put into any motion, including boom, the engine will stop. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks y'all.

Complete service on the machine, all filters changed, all air was bled out. It sputters to a stop. Engine idles just fine, but if you start working it at all the RPMs begin to fluctuate and then eventually it bogs down and quits.

Crap floating around in the fuel tank ? Rust or fuel bacteria . Or a bad fuel hose collapsing under suction?
