Next time you have an engine that will run for a short time, start coughing and quit, only to respond to the starter and run for a few seconds, disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter inlet and see if you have decent flow. I had the problem and thought through the possibilities coming up with a cloged fuel tank....which I had no way to justify what I found upon inspecting. Inside were a lot of black looking pieces of debris at the fuel outlet.
I gave it a shot of 30 PSI air and upon removing the nozzle, fuely came gushing out. I guess I can take a spring finter and try to catch and remove some of it. To remove the tank would require dismantling the rear axle assy to get to it so that's not an option...JD L110.
Interesting correlation: My '65 Ford 3000D just had a similar operational problem traced back to rust accumulation in the bottom of the tank blocking the oullet filter screen....I removed that for cleaning and solved that problem.
