  If your Kubota Engine suddenly stops, it could be due to a lack of fuel; check the fuel tank and refill if needed, also inspect the fuel system for air or leaks. A bad nozzle can also cause this issue, so replace it if necessary. Overheated moving parts due to insufficient or improper lubrication is another potential cause. Check the engine oil level with the oil level gauge and inspect the lubricating oil system. Replace the oil filter cartridge every two oil changes.

  Difficulty starting your Kubota Engine can stem from several causes. The orifice of the nozzle piece may have carbon buildup; carefully clean the orifice and needle valve, or replace the nozzle if necessary. Ensure the fuel system is adequate. Overheating moving parts may be the cause, so check the lubricating oil system and filter. Clean a dirty air cleaner element every 100 hours. Avoid poor quality fuel to prevent injection pump wear, and only use No. 2-D diesel fuel. If the fuel is thick, check the fuel tank and filter for water, dirt, or impurities, and clean the filter with kerosene. If there's air or water in the fuel system, check for loosened fuel line couplings or cap nuts and eliminate air by loosening the joint bolt stop fuel filter and air vent screws.

  If the Kubota Engine must be stopped immediately, several issues could be the cause. Check the oil level and replenish if insufficient. Inspect the fan belt for breakage or elongation, and change or adjust it as needed. Ensure the coolant level is sufficient and replenish if low. If there's an excessive concentration of antifreeze, add water or switch to a coolant with the correct mixing ratio. Clean any dust from the radiator net or fins. If the inside of the radiator or coolant flow route is corroded, clean or replace the affected parts. Replace any defective fan, radiator, or radiator cap. Check the thermostat and replace it if defective. Verify the temperature gauge or sensor with a thermometer and replace if necessary. Reduce the load if the engine is overloaded. Replace any defective...
