We have a CIH 7150 that is acting a
little weak compared to what it was
a couple years ago. The fuel filters
and fuel system have been recently
replaced or rebuilt. The engine was
also totally overhauled by the
dealer within the last 1500 hrs. I'm
not sure if the turbo was replaced
then or not. Once it gets wound up
its mostly ok power wise but still
questionable. At mid range and lower
RPMs it's doggish. It is also hesitant to accelerate with a load..There is a slight
oil dampness that always remains
around the turbo. No other visible
oil leaks can be seen anywhere on
the engine. Is this a sign the turbo
is on the way out ? I've never had
to replace one so this is new
territory for me.
