Yes, dirt is the worst enemy. I used to work in a performance oriented engine shop, where we used to build a lot of dirt track engines. I spent a lot of time as 'prep guy', making sure the parts were all fresh and ready to assemble.

I had it running (strong) after the lines/filters etc. were cleaned. I had the tank off to get to the steering box after that, and that is when my problems started. While it was off I cleaned it out too... but those familiar with these tractors know that the steering column runs thru a tube in the middle of the tank, so there are plenty of places for dirt to hide!

Could be dirt...? Dunno, we were so careful and we did cap everything... but I guess its possible that we missed something.

I'll get some of that cleaner from Husky today and put it in... has anyone ever had success with that stuff? I've used injector cleaner in EFI cars and never noticed any difference. But if its going to involve a pro it will have to wait until after I split it because the lines will all be open again anyways, and I'd rather do it once.

Any other suggestions--keep'em coming guys!

Thanks,
Derek
