About 3-4 years ago i was having a similar problem with my CIH 885. Would start fine and run ok for a while and then start to die. I could get to the field and begin to work but the engine would just start slowing down. if I pushed in the clutch for a few minutes the RPMs would come back up and I could go a little further. Messed around with it until it got so bad I couldn't climb a small hill without it competely stalling. Finally had to pull it home with my old Case 630. After draining the filters, calling the dealer, and a few other things I discovered that the fuel tank had lady bugs in it. They were plugging the outlet. under no load enough fuel would seep through the dead bugs and the engine would keep running but not enough fuel could get through under load. Flushed the tank twice and it was ok. I think the critters must have gotten into the hose of my bulk tank and then pumped into the tractor. I put a screen over the end of the hose and always check it before filling my tractor. No trouble since. My fuel supplier said the lady bugs are attracted to the diesel fuel. Guess this isn't what they mean by bio diesel.
