Komatsu pc300-6 fuel problem

Excavator becomes sluggish when engine is hot and sometimes even stalls out. Could this be a problem with the ejection pump? Thanks for your help.

    IF it has an in-line injection pump.. the feed line going to the lift pump, on the side of the IP, right under the hand primer has a screw-in filter in THAT BOLT.. 99% of the time its clogged w/ crap..

    Kind of sounds like a hydraulic pump problem pulling more horsepower than the engine has to give. Have you checked for fault codes on the monitor panel?
