How to troubleshoot starting difficulties in Kubota Excavators?
- CCollin KramerAug 5, 2025
If your Kubota Excavator is having trouble starting, there could be several reasons. The fuel might be too viscous or dirty; in this case, check the fuel tank and filter, remove any impurities and water, and replace the filter if needed. Another cause could be air or water in the fuel system; remove water from the fuel tank, check the fuel pipe joints for looseness, and purge the fuel system. If it's winter, the oil viscosity might be too high, making the engine sluggish; pouring hot water over the radiator can help. Also, check if the battery is almost dead and recharge it. Ensure that the fuel level is not low and add fuel if necessary. Finally, a clogged air filter can cause starting problems, so clean the air filter element.
