Case 1845c bobcat bogging down problem need help

junebug1313 ยท 2010-05-13 21:52

A friend of mine has a 1845c case bobcat and can use it for about 5 minutes then it starts to bog down when pushing a load, almost like no power. the pump was rebuild with less then 200 hours injectors checked and one was replaced. fuel line was checked. changed the fuel cap. does anyone have an idea what could be causing it to lose power and bog down. Also is there anywhere online that sell parts for it? ..... or reman injectors , ect thanks

    when you say you checked the fuel line did u replace the filter too? sometimes it gets plugged.

    Hi June, 2 things come to mind that should be checked. 1. Fuel tank cap-make sure cap is vented and not plugged. If it is plugged this can create a vaccum (low pressure area) in the tank making it difficult for the fuel transfer pump to draw fuel from the tank. 2. Check valve lash-as valves heat up the stem grows. If they haven't been adjusted for some time you may have a tight one which equals loss of power. Check those 2 and let me know. I have others that could cause a similiar issue. Good Luck Z
