950f series 2 . sudden problem with power loss when the machine is under stress when digging or streeting it in high gear . starts and runs fine but lets say your streeting the machine and you start to climb a slight grade it will loose power for 4 seconds and then return to normall for 4 seconds then loose power again. same amount of time and its consitently timed.it drops about 400 rpm. doesnt smoke or sputter. changed filters and cleaned the water separator. it was full of clean fuel . turbo is new 4 months ago and it operated fine untill this. anyone have any ideas? thanks in advanced. brian
check to see if there is any kinks in the steel fuel lines. we had that with buddy barry's 950e. thansk KoO Published Author
air filters dirty fuel tank pickup tube screen clogged or dirty rubber line chaffed inside acting like a flap valve. pinched line some where. fuel line cracked sucking air
i was going to say, cleanout your fuel tank, a perfect blockage is one of those foil seals on the bottles of power service. It floats around until its near the pickup then the suction hold it to the pickup until the fuel flow is stopped.
fixxed streeted the loader back to the shop today...it was much worse. so we parked it in the garage with the heat on while i welded a cutting edge on the bucket....after lunch i removed the fuel cap and it was suctioned on there !!!! took the loader for a 20 minute ride through the city without the cap and it ran fine !! theres a passage in the cap that leads to a small foam filter on the outside of the cap....the passage was blocked. we are going to leave it in the heat for a few days and drain the tank again for good measure. just see if theres any ice in the tank. brian
