last year i lent the tele out to a neighbor to do some repairs to his sheds and ever since it come back we've had running problems with it.
One of the lads helping him out told me afterwards that he had problems with his fuel as well.
Ive washed the tank out, fitted a new lift pump and fitted a new housing to which the filters screw on to but its still running bad, on the road it struggles to get up to full speed and often cuts out when working. Also sitting idling it hunts up and down.
Was going to take the pump off and get it seen to as it also has a leak somewhere and is dripping diesel everywhere.
Can anybody recommend somewhere to send it to to get checked out
Its a cat th62
Thanks

Any diesel specialist will clean it out , but I'd sort the leak first

Yes try to find the leak first.
Our handler was not running correctly. Found a leak in return pipe. Replaced it and that seemed to sort it.
 
Having a similar issue with a tractor at the moment,other than the leak. Is there a good system cleaner to try through it before going to the trouble of getting the pump off?
