Engine shuts off suddenly while running: Fuel injection pump timing is wrong. Adjust the pump as required. Fuel filter plugging. Change the filter element. Engine has not warmed up to the recommended temperature. Normalize the temperature by warming up the engine.

Diesel starts and stops: Fuel filter plugged. Change filter element. Fuel injection pump is defective. Install a new fuel pump or repair. Air filter is dirty. Clean or change.

Engine overheating: Dirty radiator fins or faulty radiator cap. Clean radiator or install new cap. Low engine coolant. Top up coolant fluid and check system for leaks. Fan belt is loose or defective. Change as required. Engine oil level low. Checking oil level and add if necessary.

Reduced engine power: Dirty or faulty injection nozzles. Service or change injection nozzles. Fuel lines or hoses clogging. Fuel hoses and lines must be clean. Restricted intake air. Clean or replace element. Defective cylinder head gasket. Install a new gasket.

Abnormal engine noise or knocking: Coolant temperature is low. Engine is not warmed up to the required temperature. Lack of engine oil. Add oil to the engine crankcase. Fuel injection pump timing is not adjusted. Adjust fuel injection pump as required. Pistons are broken or worn. Replace the pistons as required. Connecting rod is worn or misaligned. Connecting rod needs to be replaced or aligned.

Engine stalls while idle: Low idle speed setting is incorrect. Adjust low idle speed. Valve out of adjustment. Adjust valve clearance according to specifications. Fuel injection pump damage. Repair or install new pump.

Oil pressure is insufficient: Engine oil level low. Fill the crankcase with oil. Oil pump is worn or damaged. Repair or replace. Oil filter clogging. Replace or clean engine oil filter element.

Kubota B7610 Hydrostatic Transmission Troubleshooting

Hydrostatic transmission is making noise: Worn or unadjusted speed control linkage. Adjust or change linkage. Transmission is under excessive load. The load should be reduced. Transmission fluid is dirty or fluid level is too low. Top up to proper level or change transmission fluid. Relief valve is damaged. Replace relief valve as required. Defective or worn transmission parts. Change or repair defective parts.

Transmission fluid is too hot: Excessive transmission load. Reduce transmission load. Cooling components are damaged or clogged. Check all cooling components and change or repair if required. Transmission oil insufficient. Add oil to the transmission housing. Clogged transmission oil filter element. Service or replace the transmission oil filter.

Lack of power: Low oil level. Need to add transmission oil. Relief valve failure. Replace the valve. Worn or unadjusted speed control linkage. Adjust or change linkage.

Transmission fluid leakage: Clogged transmission fluid return pipe. Clean or change return pipe. Worn seals or gaskets. Install new components. Internal transmission housing pressure is too high. Change defective parts.
