    Help with 751 not getting fuel

    Help!!! My little cat seems to be gulping for fuel which doesn't arrive quickly enough. I checked fuel lines, filters, connection clamps, and can find not leaks. What other possibilities are there? It seems to be sucking air somewhere? Any ideas? We already replaced the pick up tube in the fuel...

    Brakes not releasing on 751 Bobcat

    Since the Bobcat dealer says that we don't. Red two filters we just braced the fuel line nipple on to the 1/2 pipe tube coming out of the fuel bar and eliminated the second filter, which we couldn't find anywhere and to special order it was over $40 plus shipping. Still working on the brakes...

    Brakes not releasing on 751 Bobcat

    Actually I went to the ONE Bobcat dealer in the STATE again yesterday and they don't have the 1/2 tube and screen for the fuel pick up and say it is a discontinued item? They also Informed me that they don't stock the Fuel Filter I need and it is a special order item as no one uses the duel...

    Brakes not releasing on 751 Bobcat

    Oops! There is the other seat bar sensor on the left side of the cab which is a nylon pad on a steel slider and it goes down when the safety bar is down. The actual sensor would be under the cab and this is just the actuator lever which would go to the sending/sensing unit. Are you suggesting...

    Brakes not releasing on 751 Bobcat

    The problem with the filter is that the numbers are totally worn off so they do not show. Just the Bobcat brand shows. Are you suggesting that that the brake release problem is the seat sensor or with the safety bar sensor? The safety bar sensor is on the left side of the cage and is fully...

    Brakes not releasing on 751 Bobcat

    Finally got my 751 Pug powered Bobcat going again, no thanks to the dealer who said the fuel tank tube is an out dated part no longer made and sold me all new parts to replace them with and which didn't work! I just made my own tube to go to the bottom of the tank? Now I can't find a replacement...

    751 fuel problem... !!!! Emergency !!!!

    Thank you, thank you!!!! I found that by removing the strap that holds the hydro oil tank and lowering the tank and reaching over it, I could easily access the fuel line and tube. The tube was broken off and that was the problem!!!! I went 45 mi to the Bobcat Dealer in SLC Ut. to find that my...

    751 fuel problem... !!!! Emergency !!!!

    Thanks! How do I make sure that I get The pick up/return hose and NOT the other one. Obviously once this has been done I will then know what I am feeling for, but the first time around I could easily make a mistake? If I feel two tubes which of the two would it be and what will it feel like as...

    751 fuel problem... !!!! Emergency !!!!

    Tazza, I have a Pug in the 751 and am at a loss as exactly how you did the replacement so easily? Apparentely you are saying that you can lift the cage, get under it and reach around the pump to the back of it and feel the top of the tank where the fuelick up stick is and just pull it out and...

    751 fuel problem... !!!! Emergency !!!!

    I have the same emergency!!! We spent the entire day looking for the problem thinking it was something else, but it finally comes down to the likely culprit is the pick up tube in the tank has a problem. You can blow air into the tank thru the fuel line and hear it bubble etc, but the fuel will...

    Fuel problem on 751

    A more specific question is how do I clean out the fuel tank as we have reason to believe it might be a dirty tank problem? Not positive, but a good place to start if we can get some ideas on how to clean it. Any help will be appreciated as this looks like a major deal to have to remove the tank...

    Fuel problem on 751

    I should have been more clear: the machine starts just fine, but runs out of fuel after running a minute unless someone continues to pump the primer bulb. That is the only way to keep it running. Any new ideas?

    Fuel problem on 751

    I also have a pugeot 751 that is having similar problems. It was running fine until we changed out the filters and then it began to have the symptoms that you describe? We can make it run if we keep pumping the bulb, but it runs out of fuel when we quit pumping. Ours sounds like it might be a...

    Cheap place to buy oil?

    Cheapest and best I/O is at SAMs Club from what I have found. I have an account with the wholesales but they are always higher. Bobcat doesn't make their own oil and just gets it from refineries like everyone else so don't get stuck on the Brand name thing. I hate it when these manuf. try and...
