Message: <blockquote data-quote="VAFarmUse" data-source="post: 108719" data-attributes="member: 16894"><p>Right side is smooth and drive fine forward or reverse. When I move the left stick (especially to turn) either forward or reverse, I notice a decent whine, along with a lack of power. What is somewhat odd to me is that if I am moving both sticks at the same time, the whining is almost non-existent, but at soon as I put more load on the left side, it starts to whine again. I can definitely feel it is straining, and it almost feels like the hyd flow isnt as good on that side. the right side seems fine (for a 30 year old machine) and turns with relative ease, especially compared to the left side. Any thoughts on what this is? I suspect left drive motor, but hoping it is a seal or valve that can be replaced. Havent done much with the hyd system yet, other than add some oil to the tank and to the lower drive reservoir. I know I need to start with a fresh filter, but I dont think thats the issue, since only one side is acting up. thanks in advance for the input. Also, I am having some issues with what I believe is the carb. Zenith updraft carb on the ford 1.6 liter gas engine. Assuming jets are clogged, as right now it will only run when it is fully choked. Every now and then it will seemingly clear itself and run great for about 30 minutes without the choke, but eventually it will start sputtering and I have to choke it again and limp back to the spot where i keep it stored on my property. Any suggestions there? Should I just pull it and get a rebuild kit? From what I can tell, it looks like a huge pain to remove, given the linkage and lack of space to get to it. Thanks again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
