one thing you should think of is that the problems might not be related a engine that burns oil can run out of fuel ,be refueled and keep going. If it sat for a long period fuel might be all it is, like mentioned check the fuel bowl when you have the lower cover off put a can under it turn on the fuel make sure there is a good flow if not there might be a fuel screen in the tank valve nipple. You might want to check the engine oil and make sure it does not smell like diesel. But I do not like the idea of it not briefly running on starting fuel. Lets hope for the best.
make sure that there is a good flow of fuel coming from the tank to the lift pump, a restricted gravity system ,(which I am sure you have) might have symptoms like what you describe.
yes you said it is a 610 series skid steer but when I looked them up they ran a 4 cylinder Wisconsin . I have a 2 cylinder Wisconsin with no references in the history at Bobcat about that engine. All the fuel and hydro. pump attachments look like factory , like it is a original engine. Maybe it will have the same model # even though the engine is not covered . We shall see when I get the serial #. Then find out what the real model # is. Glad it was just a alt. bearing. Things that make you shake your head , I have a 2008 ford ranger with a 2.3 the daughter has a 2008 ford fusion with a 2.3 mine has spark plugs hers has permeant electronic ignitors. oil filters are different too. remember when if you had a same year and displacement 99% of the time they were the same, things were simpler then. yeah dash out not fun.
also I got the skid steer working so I got about 1500 in it , I guess it worked out picking it up with the only cost was fuel to go get it. when it warms up will pressure clean it so I can find the serial # so I can figure out what model it is.
If you determine that the fuel bowl seal is a problem, I would buy a new after market one. Chances are it will be better made. They come in several styles. The one on my foton had a plastic bowl which is difficult to see thru , I changed it to a ford clone with a glass bowl works great.
make damn sure that your in neutral when jumping , my 2006 foton ft504a just last year I needed to relocate the ground from the batt. somehow there got a resistance between the batt. box hardware where the ground was to the engine. so I relocated the ground to the engine block. Took care of problem with low cranking speed and or nothing happening when attempted starting.
not to get into the middle of this but would there be any advantage non detergent iso oil? I would not think so. Unless such a small volume in the pump and a foaming action? nah do not think so
try running engine from a remote fuel source (portable tank) then check return line to see if it cleans up.
