Well, they have it now and have changed the coil pack on the right side. It now runs *equally* on both sides, but they're not sure they are satisfied with the results as they say they haven't run it long enough to burn off the carbon. A kind reader wrote me privately and worked with his dealer and John Deere and John Deere has put out a Service Bulletin:
03-11-30-6. He said it details our issues and it
gives the corrective action. The issue is the vent tube, according to the bulletin.
He also told me his dealer had another GT245 with the exact issues as ours. It had 16 hours when it quit.
Now the deal is that I mentioned to our service dept. the vent tube thing last week (before a service bulletin came out)and our dealer didn't understand why it would be an issue and said they would try to find out. Well, apparently, without calling Deere, they visually inspected the vent tube and didn't see a restriction. I am not sure what they are to look for, and they can't tell me exactly *why* it would be a problem, so it looks like they need to research it and get the service bulletin....lets hope they do...
I did also contact the general manager so hopefully he is on it.
