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 less. Thats when I parked it. I honestly can't tell if it sounds like its losing fuel or like if its electrical or something... I couldn't figure out any type of pattern (hot/cold, low/high rpm, flat/angle, high/low fuel, etc), figured it was time for some service.. Air filter was pretty bad. Replaced the fuel filter as well. After starting it, it died out almost immediately again within a few minutes. However after that it ran great for about 20 min before I shut it off. Next day I ran it for about 2 hours and it didn't do it once, I thought I was in the clear!!! However it's now back to doing what it was doing before....
Any suggestions on where to start? I threw in some diesel fuel additive/cleaner with it as well when I did the fuel filter change.
