Ls180 New Holland bogs down loses power and is hard to start.

[Bonesbrand]

Hi I am new to the Forum and I have recently purchased at New Holland ls180. So far it's been a great running machine but today I started experiencing issues where the machine was bogged down and ultimately turn off. It felt as if it was a fuel issue but I know I have fuel and the tank.. After going through a few of these forums I've checked some of the main culprit but now I have what probably is a stupid question but I want to run it by you guys anyways. I found that my manual primer bubble was dry rotted and everytime I squeezed it diesel would come out. I figured this would allow air to get in the lines and possibly cause my issues. Has anyone ever had this issue? Thanks

yes, hopefully that is all your problem , check all your fuel lines and replace as necessary, that stuff is easy and cheap so if is iffy replace it. if you have not done the fuel filters and air cleaners do them too. unless you have documentation from the previous owner they have been done recently. good luck

I literally just posted the same problems with my ls180. Mine seems to bog down and sputter when put under a load but will idle fine before hand. May I ask where the manual primer bulb is located I don’t seem to have that
