Hydraulics on a 1550

Ok, most of the snow has melted, & I can start fooling with my 1550 Cockshutt/Oliver again as time permits. It has a front end loader with bucket on it. the hydraulics are hooked up to the rear where implements usually hook up & I use the levers by the seat to operate the loader. I also added a power steering to it. I took the hydraulics for the steering from the hose that went to the rad. it comes from the left side of the seat& it went to the rad,, Everything works BUT, when I turn my steering either way it has a noticeable effect on the engine. It slows the RPM considerably.. but it doesn't end there. When I lift the loader up, or the bucket, it has the same effect, slows the motor/rpm down , almost kills it same as steering.. If I speed the engine up it's better, but still not right. I pull the choke out & it recovers again. otherwise the motor would die..
The other issue is it must warm up quite a bit before I pull out, or work the loader, because if I start it & run it only for a short time, put it in gear it wants to die, so I pull the choke & the engine recovers.. It looks like I have 2 problems, hydraulics, & gas..
 


You might want to check the intake for leaks, if that don't get it, then take the carb apart and clean all the jets and passages. After you get the motor running good, check the hyd.
 
You have access to a vacuum gauge? I would take a vacuum reading of the engine. Send me an e-mail and I will send you a sheet.

I had similar problems and did my carb. but still had same results. My problem was in the sediment housing in the fuel tank. Put in new aftermarket and my 1650 runs great.

Thanks Rich, I will look into that.
Sorry I couldn't answer sooner. My computer was in the hospital.
