Hi,
My 1991 JCB Sitemaster backhoe is having a fuel delivery problem. I can't tell if it is the fuel solenoid, the lift pump or the injector pump. If left alone for a day or two it will run for 10-15 minutes and then start to bog down and then stop. Sometimes manually operating the lift pump will get it started again, but it will have very little power and then die.
While manually operating the lift pump I can see returning to the tank via the "clear" return line, but I also see bubbles that don't stop with extended priming. It seems like I might be sucking air in somewhere, but that would have to be before the lift pump wouldn't it?
The filter is new. The solenoid and lift pumps are only a few years old.
Any help, as always, is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
