1) been running a mixture of filtered waste
vegetable oil and regular diesel.
2) tractor got to running rough, swapped out fuel
filter (really needed it)
3) tractor ran fine. . .for a couple hours.
Currently: tractor busts right off. . .starts
right up. If it has been setting for awhile, it
runs quite smoothly for 45 seconds to 1 minute,
then starts "popping" and loses power.
After a few minutes, the throttle doesn't change
the engine speed, power drops off to almost
nothing, and eventually she'll die.
It will start right up again, run (albiet while
popping) for another few minutes, and repeat the
whole process.
I've blown out the lines, I've replaced the return
fuel line that was leaking, and checked the
injector lines for leaks.
When the tractor is running smoothly, a steady
stream of fuel comes from the return fuel line. .
.as the tractor loses power, that stream
disappears.
It looks to blow grey/dark smoke when it starts
messing up.
Both air filters are new (2 months/10 hours old).
Antifreeze is full and green. . .none in the oil,
either.
I hope that is enough info for *somebody* to point
me in the right direction!
