My 2 cents: leaking injectors. Do diesels flood and refuse to start?

If your kubota is like most, it should have a 12VDC lift pump, that looks much like a fuel filter. its a plunger style pump. I have seen kubotas have warm start problems if this pump goes out. Also, check for hot areas on the inlet side, if there is a high spot in the lines.

Good luck with it
