    Got to be shit in pipes or fuel running back , the kubotas are easy to work on and bullet prof . Might be worth putting back pre filter before main filter to stop any shit even getting further up the system

    My news said "Major websites" are affected, guess that is Arbtalk then!
  5. Steven P
    Is it all mixed waste or will for example gardening jobs one day, tree jobs another? Tree waste, you can look at the local tip sites, might get a donation and there are some around that will take chip as well. I am assuming here apart from paying for the council tip

  12. Stubby

  13. Stubby
    I played the Hamberger Concerto the other night . Big piece .

    Presumably it has a electric fuel pump, that would be my first guess other than the usual dirty filters, rubber hoses leaking or blocked.
  15. Muddy42
    If you have a multimeter, remove and test the glow plugs for resistance. Id check the fuel filter first and maybe flush it with solvent. If it needs replacing, whack a hole through it temporarily with a screw driver and carry on testing while you wait for a replacement. if you disconnect the fuel lines at various points, you should get decent squirts when you the engine is turned over.
  16. Stephen Blair
    i'm really impressed Josh.
  17. TheTreeWrangler
    it fires over fine , and if its been used the day before it starts ok ... but if it hasn't been run for a couple of days then its a real pain ..
  18. GarethM
    Is it firing over or just lazy starting
  19. TheTreeWrangler
    yeah pre heating the glow plugs , battery is new this was my first thought. I haven't replace the filter, but can do this asap as a matter of caution, but if there was a blockage id expect it to do it every time not just after a few days .. ?? I had thought that it maybe not holding a lift on the fuel but if air was being drawn in , id expect to see a leak ??
  20. Muddy42
    Have you tested voltage and load on the battery? Are the battery connections clean? have you bled the fuel system to see if air is getting in or if fuel is reaching the injectors? Replace fuel filters? Id ohm test the glow plugs to see if they are working (should be low resistance). I presume you are pre-heating the glow plugs?

    What engines in her
  26. maybelateron
    Neither of the people either side of it wanted their fences damaging, so it would have had to be felled higher than I can reach from a ditch. Didn't fancy being tied in with spikes and a strop, as it had significant die back. Also we left the trunk standing at the level of the main crotch for nature to nibble away at.
