Help,, I have a 1972 yale/towne 353 detroit backhoe. To make a long story short, I purchased it to dig my foundation on my new house,,simple enough. It was working just fine,but after changing the fuel filters,and checking the fuel line for leaks and no clogging,it has started to die down or at least seem to run on less than the appropriate cylinders.It will start fine sort of,,,run till it gets warm then when underload it will start to die down to the point of almost off,no matter if giving throttle or not..it will catch up itself after 20 seconds or longer and as long as i keep the throttle up it will run ok,but even then it will at times start to die as soon as I go under load whether I start to dig or move the rear or front bucket asembley, or even while in gear it will move just fine with a little throttle but then seems to die for no apparent reason. It will die to a few strokes and ...off But it will start right up most of the time right after dying. Not too familair with the 353,but it sounds like a power valve or load compensator etc,,am I close,, help,,,need to finish excavating before winter... Thanks,,, M janice
