A farm neighbor has a roughly 30 year old Alice with the Perkins. He recently replaced some leaking fuel lines, fittings and fuel filter. The fuel system does not seen to want to bleed, not matter what he does. The hand pump has no resistance to it.. He is able to get fuel from the lower bleeder, but just bubbles on the top one.. I towed him roughly fifth laps around his barn to no avail... Anyone have any ideas??? It ran FINE before he messed with it!

Thanks,
John

An Allis Chalmers with a 3 cylinder Perkins must a 160. The camshaft has to be in the right position for the hand pump to work. Try turning the engine over a little bit until there is resistance on the pump. You can also open the bleeder and crank the engine with the starter to get the air out, if the battery is strong enough.

They are good little engines, the CAV pumps were however sometimes difficult to bleed. Good advice re the camshaft. But bottom line is sometimes you have to crack open an injector line to let some fuel get through the pump. They will not push air well.
God Bless,
