Helping neighbors kid getting his kubota SxS going and have it running now.
It had lots of crap in the fuel tank, I pulled the pump and cleaned the filter, flushed the tank as well as I could.
It’s running now but rough, thinking maybe an injector cleaner might straighten it up.
It’s a newer kubota RTV-XG850.

ah, a gas Kubota ... I've had decent luck with Sea Foam over the years on my gas engines, but there is likely better available these days.

Automatic transmission fluid poured into the gas tank works well. It will smoke for a while but cleans things up internally.

I've had good results with Lucas Upper Cyclinder Lubricant and Injector Cleaner. I've been using the same empty small bottle that I purchased years ago and refill it from the larger size which reduces the cost per ounce significantly.
Every time I buy gas for the small engines I add a few ounces of Sea Foam.

I would vote for seafoam. I've had really good luck with it across several different platforms.

Well it has 6oz. of seafoam in with 6 gallons of non-ethanol fuel, trying to keep it running and work some possible miracles here.
I picked up a can of Berrymans too just in case.
Thanks Fellers!

Someone in a previous thread mentioned "Mechanic in a Bottle." That stuff worked wonders on my chainsaw.

If you can pick the tank up and shake it put a little gas in it with seafoam or whatever you want along with a few 6"lengths of light chain and shake it up.

What is the fuel tank made of? Seen a few side by sides with metal tanks that rusted up on the inside and created ongoing issues.
