Lately it seems that when it sits for a few days it doesnt want to start. I give it a shot of either and it fires right up and all seems fine. This past weekend It does not want to start it will run as long as I am giving it either but will not run. I removed the sediment bowl at the pump and fuel runs out at a very good pace. If I pump up the hand pump it will fire up and If I continue to pump it after Its running it will continue to run and sounds fine, but after a little bit it quits running again. I am thinking its sucking air and loosing prime but when I remove the sediment bowl at the pump fuel runs freely. Does any one have any ideas where I should look? Thanks gramps [Reply]   [No Email]

I think I have narrowed it down to the transfer pump. I have good flow to the tansfer pump. I have replaced the filters and bled them all out. When I remove the line from the transfer pump to the filter there is no fuel being pumped when the engine is running, but If I hand pump it then fuel comes out. I will talk with the injection pump guy tomorrow, I really dont want to take the pump off if I dont have too. thanks gramps PS I wanted to use it for my plow day but it just didnt want to co-operate so it sat at home and the other trators got to plow more.

There is a pencil filter in fuel tank at outlet an after 50 so years there might be stuff in tank. If it slows remove it an clean or throw away. Screen will catch dirt anyway an filters will clean micro stuff from fuel [Reply]  [No Email]

I've never run a 70 series that wouldn't prime right up once the filters were bled. If the filters had bad seals and the transfer pump was good you should get a leak when the tractor was running.
