I saw that. Debatable to go that route. According to the oem disgram my fuel line goes through a fuel exchanger.. not from bulb to tank. Probably a dumb question but I don’t even know what that is. Does it just keep fuel cool? I haven’t looked for it on the actual machine. Not sure where it’s...

probably a good idea if i can figure out how to make that work, and find something to store 36 gallons of fuel in, lol.. it may never pick up whatever is getting stuck though until the machine actually moves. I guess depends on how much suction the pump puts on the lines... I'm pretty...

when its working, its working fine, at full power. if it was the gelling or a clogged screen I would think it would run rough the entire time. definitely could be wrong, but it makes sense. sounds like i need to figure out how to get the fuel out of the thing. its 100% full right now, so...

ok so update.. I'm leaning less toward a clogged pickup now. After letting the machine sit over night, I ran it again this morning, not moving the machine I idled it up/down several times, the primer bulb never deflated...and squeezing it i can feel fuel moving through it. so that tells me i'm...

tempting but at $100 a piece for fuel filters, I like the idea of the screen lol. has anyone left the sreen off and put in an in line filter thats cheap/easy to change?

I believe I'm suffering from a fuel starvation issue, most likely the fuel pickup it sounds like. I lifted up the cab, looking from both sides, I found the sensor and the return line, but I can't for the life of me even SEE the pickup much less attempt to actually pull it out. According to a...

pulled the fuel cap and the bulb still squeezes in, not as quickly but definitely still does it. so I dont think its the cap. i found the return (thought it was the pickup) and popped it out... unfortunately that obviously isn't part of the equation. found a parts diagram and the pickup is...

thanks. kind of what i was thinking, but didnt think about the first easy one (fuel cap). will start there and move onto my lines do you know on a t550 if ill have to remove the fuel tank to get the pickup out? or is it accessible after lifting the cab?

i noticed today that when its running the primer bulb is completely flattened like squeezed in... is this normal? or is that some type of potential hint at my issue (plugged line somewhere, or maybe in the filter housing o r something?) any advice?

Hey guys, t550 I bought with around 2000 hrs, I put 400 on it without issue. It started cutting out on me, its a very sudden loss of power and sometimes it will recover but most of the time it shuts off. It got worse as some time went on. It got to the point of it happening every 10 min or...

Hello. Recently acquired a 2016 t550. It appears to have slow leak on a lift arm seal. The sight class appears empty. I added a gallon, no change. Parked it with that side much lower and still can’t see anything. Is it possible it’s so cloudy and the fluids just clear enough I can’t see it...
