It's me again, first note from a earlier post some of you might remember from my main hydraulic pump rebuild, everything is working great hydraulic wise, now the new problem. Backhoe was running good no problems nor signs of any problems we stopped what we were working and took a break went back out and started the backhoe and it ran a couple of moments and died as if it ran out of fuel, I new that was impossible, I tried to start it immediately would not start so waited a couple of moments it started like normal but died the same way almost immediately this time so we a while this time and it started a ran a couple of moments and died the some way, did some researching and learned about a check valve on top of the injector pump and read about where a couple of people had drilled out the valve checked mine and it'd been drilled, I cranked it with return line removed the same thing died a couple of moments after cranked and no fuel came from the return line connection. After this and some researching I've come to the conclusion that the issue is the injector pump needing rebuilding. My main question is this, do yawl feel I'm on the right track, I'm asking because I don't want to go through the trouble of rebuilding the pump especially with a broken leg and this not be the problem. Yes I've broke my leg since I was last on here, I did this taking wire out the attic in my Uncles old house (100+ old) we're tearing down and yes I'm operating the backhoe and a farm tractor, plus building forms for a low water crossing and poured 60 plus 60# bags of cement.
