08 bobcat 335 mini ex with kubota v2203 engine.
machine is starving for fuel. I replaced the fuel filter, filled fuel filter with diesel 911, replaced lift pump. replaced fuel shut off solenoid, replaced suction fuel lines from tank to lift pump. tried removing primer bulb. still fuel starved...or so it seams. if I squeeze the fuel primer bulb while it is running it clears up. if I remove the fuel line at the injector pump and squeeze the primer bulb ,fuel flows freely.
machine runs great for 5 minutes or so then fuel starvation slowly comes back. My brother has a 341 and had to put a new engine in because of nearly identical situation. dealer said compression was low ( i think 320 when it was suppose to be 375...im not 100% convinced my brothers machines issue was because of compression, he hasn't gotten it back yet) My machine fires up barely touching the key, I would think if it was low compression it would take more turns to fire???
not sure if the engine temp is a factor.
maybe cam that runs lift pump is worn?
any ideas?
