Bought a 7020 about a year ago and finally got to putting it to
work. Tractor starts pretty good and runs well under load. It
can run a 15 foot mower with ease.
Trouble is it it won't idle properly. If i start it it will race with
minimal throttle. Idle is possible but difficult to obtain with very
small inputs to the throttle lever. Engine does not seem to
have good power at low throttle. While road running with it i
had to go down a couple of large hills. I throttled down some
and started down the hill. Both hills the tractor died half way
down but promptly restarted at the bottom.
Was thinking of starting with pulling injectors and testing them.
Any other good thoughts about what's going on?
