History: This dozer was working fine when parked, then, sadly NOT USED for 5 years.
Got it running: Did all the new filters, oil etc... started and ran GREAT! But........
When you start to push or put a LOAD on the engine, as the turbo would normally build pressure (I presume) to increase power, it begins to produce a VERY AUDIBLE FLUTTER SOUND out the exhaust and power NEVER comes on.
Back off load and runs GREAT!
No other noises or irregularities.
With NO LOAD it will reach full RPM and run "smooth as silk".
What could be wrong?
Is it possible that from sitting the turbo or waste gate is doing this?
I don't know enough about turbo's to hazard a guess.
I DO NOT feel like it is internal to the engine.
It just doesn't sound that way. Sorry don't know how else to explain it.
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
