Fuel Injected Kubota Trouble Solved!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2024
- The Fuel Injected Kubota suddenly lost power and after talking with Ventrac,
they had some things for me to check. It was possible that plastic shavings during the manufacturing process of the fuel tank, may have gotten lodged in part of the fuel line. I take some things apart, clean the fuel lines and reassemble. Seeing the fuel tank with hoses and wires exposed is something that most people won't evet get to see but if this ever happens to you, at least you'll have this video to help!

Great video Bradley. The comedic editing is always fun to watch
I try to make it as fun as I can. I'm actually way more fun in person though
Well happy you resolved that issue relatively quickly.
Ventrac was very responsive in helping with some suggestions

Glad to see you were able to get some answers on what the problem was and got it back up and running to 100%! 👍
Yeah, they were very proactive in giving me suggestions
Bradley, I and some others, experienced this on the 4500Z. I used a bore scope to search the emptied fuel tank to see if I could find some debris. Having failed to find such, I removed the fuel line from the tank side of the filter and blew the line back into tank. Still not able to see whatever the debris was. This happened three times over a year or two. The fuel tank would be near full, but the filter empty. Same searches and same results and same remedy. Finally, I did what you did and removed the tank and flushed it over a screen. Voila! A dime sized round disc of soft and clear silicone had been floating at probable neutral bouyancy and occasionally getting pulled against the fuel line entry in the tank, The little stuff is handled in the fuel filter and tossed with replacements, but the bigger stuff is trouble. Similar symptom another time when fuel pump crapped-out. Easy replacement with common aftermarket pump from NAPA, and a spare in my trappings kit,
Thnk you for your video work!

I had the ENTIRE fuel system out of my 4200, including removing and cleaning the tank, years ago trying to find a similar issue. It turned out to be the fuel shut off solenoid that had shorted which required removing the radiator and cooling system to get to it in addition to the carburetor.
@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 That is life with compact equipment. Its crowded in there! Step number one in doing the most basic service with my Gold Wing is "Disassemble motorcycle".
Awesome, my 4500 y seems to have a fuel leak. So, I’ll be exposing tank too. It seems the tank cover seams should be designed so that debris, rain, mud do not have ability to enter along the top outer edge. If the top folded over the outside wall it would be a much nicer seam is seems to me. Not to mention less sharp when getting on and off machine at angles.
Thinking it may be the tank has worn through on the bottom as I seem to have fuel endlessly coating the rear fender/ mud flap below tail light. Going to tear into that today since the PTO clutch just blew and I’ll be waiting for parts for what usually is 10-14 days out here in Ca. I’ve consistently tried to work with Turf Star and Ventrac to reduce that time, but they have a difficult time sending me parts from Ventrac to me directly. They love sending to Sacramento to dealer first then dealer sending to me in Santa Rosa. Hoping that we can improve the system to make more customers happy and be better than competition and increase Ventrac use out here in the west! I know Avant tractors are trying VERY HARD TO
CONVERT ME FROM VENTRAC. Even though I just ordered a new stump grinder, 72” side discharge finish deck and the soil cultivator … we shall see how this PTO. CLUTCH replacement goes. Bradley have you
Done one
Of those repairs before? If so gornscape@gmail.com is my direct email love some pointers if you have any. Thank you, Warmly Aragorn
Aragorn, yes, I have replaced an Ogura PTO before in my old 4200. It's not hard but need to take a few things apart to access it. Probably better over a phone call
Enjoyed the video and the comedy!! :D Glad you got it figured out! I had a similar issue with my fuel system and finally was able to resolve it by draining my tank and flushing it out. The fuel line is on the bottom of the tank on my older Ventrac and there was some debris that would occasionally float over the fuel line inlet. Crazy.
My 4200 had a fuel issue many years ago when I was still in Northern Maine. I didn't get any video but I did get a few photos. I completely removed the fuel tank, cleaned it out and the fuel line but that wasn't the problem. That's actually when I relocated the fuel pump to the lowest point in the tunnel. It used to be near the engine. After talking with Ventrac about it, the relocated the fuel pump to the tunnel in the 4500! I wound up taking the entire coolant system out, radiator and all, then the carb to get to the fuel shutoff solenoid which had shorted out!
@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 Wow, sounds like you had your entire tractor in pieces! I bet that was a fun project though!
@@carlinatkinson5288 super fun on the stone floor of my old barn haha!
@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 Oof! Maybe not so fun in that case 😂
Fine video thanks for sharing
Thanks!
BTW Bradley, the pic you are using for this video shows the boom arm mower in a reversed image. The sickle bar should be on the right side. Or is that something different?
just a stock photo for attention
Did the gun help you make the repair and keep you safe from the fuel tank in your closed garage?
Dan, we clearly have very different backgrounds. Would you harass an off duty cop for wearing his sidearm? No way. What about a former Tier 3 Operator? I was never a cop, but I was the latter in my former life and I've seen a lot of bad stuff. I never take it off
Much respect for your service! I always laugh at gun
Guys who never have it on them! You’re one of very few who have it and never don’t! That is the only way a gun
Works for you, if it’s at easy reach ALWAYS! It’s part of you, and I love that! I’ve studied martial arts
For nearly two decades and my knives are like your side arm, always there! Yet, I may be the guy with a knife in a gun fight, in fact I have been that guy 2 times now. Yet, I’m here now and that is all that matters. Much respect Bradley !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks

Leave ya gun in the cabinet
This was a comment in one of your previous video’s , and you said
You could do video’s on questions but that one was 1 yr ago so I posted
It in this one so I could get you to see it. This is my comment below.
I am starting a stump grinding business with the purchase of my own 4520Z. I am very interested in this due to the fact that I live outside of Memphis TN area and may have jobs in the city. I am very concerned for my and others safety especially the influx of Illegal's into the country. I am a retired 20 yr Navy Veteran. Im thinking of the Conceal carry though. Wondering how the hole cutter does when getting on and off the tractor. I would hope you could do a full video on this subject if you can? and remember dont say the G*n word it will get demonetized by RUclips. If you have already made a video on this subject can you point me to it. Thanks for the great content.
I never use the G word as it is forbidden in the Army :) I replied to your other comment and am not sure exactly what you're asking about the cutter and getting on and off the tractor...
@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 yeah hole puncher and cutter mean just another way of saying the G word
I was hoping you could make a video of some of reasons why you carry if you maybe had some incidences where it prevented an incident because you were protected
@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 I was asking if you could make a video on how it is maybe more difficult or not so difficult carrying while you're working on and off the ventrac
@@wdckellogg Ah, ok. I don't really have much difficulty with the paddle holster getting in the way, however, my backup ankle holster can get bumped. It all comes down to feeling comfortable with how you carry and what you can do regarding every day activities whether it's a hindrance or not
Thank you for the comment you have a very informative Channel
