wont start friend bought it not running gives me a story about catalytic converter clogged looking at it looks like some one has taken it off or changed it out. one broken exhaust stud one bolt missiing from air filter bracket. struggles to fire with a shot of ether. dont see or feel anything at the exhaust discharge? where do i start? where to find a repair manual at a reasonable price? thanks every one
Both my Kubotas SVLs here have had the water separator inlet elbow completely plugged with debris. I'd start there. Here HeavyEquipmentForums
You’d be really hard-pressed to find a catalytic converter on an SVL 90–2…You should find a Deisel Particulate Filter though….is the machine showing any codes on the display?
there seems to be an air leak on the water seperator wont draw fuel so bypass with in line filter drwas fuel but wont start will update
i took off the dpf some one had previously removed it and put it back or swapped it as one stud is broken and another replaced with a bolt and paper gasket with right stuff on it will look for codes and update thanks
It seems like someone was trying to “fix it” before your friend got ahold of it. It could be many things. We have 2 SVL 90-2 and they are both right around 1800-2000 hrs and both have started having electrical connector issues. Seems Kubota figured that they could save a few duckets by making the wiring harnes barley long enough to reach its destination on a machine that vibrates…ALOT…there must be codes when you turn the key on. Red or yellow stop icon flashing? Rpm light flashing? Plus look for the codes in the digital display. The mechanic at work found a place that sells the connectors, Kubota will only sell you a complete harness.
there is a flashing red icon i will get into it more today im a one man operation it is so hard to find people that want to work anymore so will update this afternoon thank you so much
