FUEL INJECTORS

Took rtv to dealer yesterday too havethem check rtv because it was smoking bad and
lost some of it power. They first toldus that the fuel in tank had to much oil in it
(same fuel we run 8 other tractor on the farm with) so they drained fuel and put new fuel in it andthe rtvhad the same problem.

We then requested that they check the fuel injectors they did and found 2 injectors not working properly. Has any one else had this problem. RTV has 35
hours on it.

I haven't had any problems.
I'm not very particular on what I run for fuel either.

I would love to see some pictures with the tracks on. []

I am surprised you had water issues, I have heard of people really thrashing their RTV's around, mudding with them and that sort of thing and never had anyone complained about this. I agree, just plug the valve.

I think that valve is pretty useless.

And the first chance I get I am going to re-route the air intake to the top of the roll cage somewhere.
