LX665 losing power

Mike0072 · Feb 27, 2014

My skid steer is losing power for no reason. Everything was fine with it until a few weeks ago. It has stalled a few times, but not sure if it's an injector issue or not. I replaced the fuel filter and I thought it helped but when I went to lift up a bucket of snow it dropped again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change both fuel filters even if you changed them recently, dump in power service 911 and fill up with number one fuel. I wasn't aware of that till recently but the book says below 40f to use #1. Went through the same thing recently, I think a a lot of our problem is Mn uses 10% biodiesel. Here #1 off road is 5.29 a gallon.
I have never had any trouble before and always mixed the fuel 50/50 in the winter but since changing filters and such I have no trouble. I did go through 2 sets of filters in 2 weeks though.

When I say both filters I mean the inline one and the water separator spin on one also. Water may come out the drain in the summer but sure doesn't in the winter.

Nice to hear its going again. Lot of fuel trouble around here this winter. We were spoiled by a couple mild winters.

I took the spin on filter that had only a few days on it and sat in upside down for a few days in the garage and this summer will put it in the sun for a bit. At 22 bucks apiece its worth trying to reuse in fact the one on it now is the one that gave me trouble to begin with. Just dried it out really good and replaced the see thru filter again.
