Ken had it. Turned out to be the small fuel filter in the engine compartment. I replaced the outside fuel/water filter first and that didn't solve the problem (but still good for it). Then I figured out that the side panel slides off the engine compartment making it easy to access the in-line...

Thanks again. I'll get a filter wrench at autozone later today and change it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works! Ben PS: I tried the html editor, but I couldn't type anything into the box (maybe it only works with IE).

Yes, I drained the fuel filter twice. Didn't see any water coming out, only fuel. I wish the fix was that easy! *sigh*

Also, how are you getting paragraph breaks to show up? I tried Firefox and Internet Explorer and no matter what I do my paragraphs get smashed together with no space in between when it is posted.

I got a fuel/water separator filter today but wasn't able to get the old one off, so I'm still not sure if this will make a difference... will have to wait until I can get a filter wrench. The NH dealer didn't show a part in their computer for the smaller inline filter, so I guess I'll have to...

I don't quite understand these instructions at the moment, but I will take a look tomorrow and see if it makes sense when I'm looking at it. I don't know what the water separator filter is.

I don't know why the forum ate my line breaks, making it hard to read. I think the admins need to change a setting or something. Sorry it ended up all as one squished paragraph, I originally had it as 4 or 5 separate paragraphs to make it easy to read. Ben

Hey everyone, I'm a skid steer and construction equipment newbie. Just got a '99 NH LX665 that appears to be in pretty good shape. It has about 1600 hours and the guy I bought it from said he just had all fluids serviced a month ago. He said the only thing he didn't do was change the air filter...

Oh crap this is the Bobcat forum. SORRY!!!

Wow, it looks like the forum ate my line breaks. Now it looks like a mess. Sorry y'all.
