[QUOTE="Hondaman900, post: 3723, member: 568"] I replaced the fuel filter (5th one) and tied the gas line away from the heat. The old fuel filter was melted on one side. I hate to think what would have happened if it melted through and leaked onto the exhaust manifold !! In any case, I used the Bobcat for an hour and a half moving stone chip up and down a hill and smoothing out a roadway. Man, it's exhausting work! However, I didn't experience the surging again. There were a couple of near stalls, but I just let off on whatever I was doing, and the engine bounced back. One one occasion I went into reverse too quickly with a raised bucket full of stone chips while facing downhill, and tipped it forward onto it's bucket, but bringing down the bucket to rest righted it again. A little scary but no harm done and a newfound appreciation of the limits on a slope. The right side seems to operate easier than the right. I have to apply quite a bit of force on the right side to engage the drive, especially reverse or turning. Sometimes have to slam back the lever. Any ideas? Also, what should fuel consumption be? How much fuel per hour should I expect to burn? Thanks all [/QUOTE]
