Hello all....our 2001 JD 240 skid steer's engine is missing pretty bad and has low power. Now we have had the machine for around 12 years with no major problems except that it has some sort of trash in the fuel tank. Was like that when we bought it. When it acts up it will start missing and loose power. We then take the in-line fuel filter and blow it out/clean it with compressed air and this black stuff comes out. It only happens once, twice a year and its an easy fix. We do replace that filter every 2-3 years. The loader gets regular light use around our 5 acre homeplace.
Now I'm having the same issue but I can't get the miss to go away. We just changed all fuel filters and have bled the air out and she still runs very bad. Any thoughts before I take it to the JD dealer to let them diagnose and repair it?
Ultimately It needs to go to the dealer becuase it also needs a few other small things corrected like the parking brake engaging randomly while operating, steering creep while in park, and a new seat.
