My 65 4020D lost power, seems like it is not getting fuel. I wasn't operating it at the time so I don't know if it was sudden or gradual. Last time I used it it was fine. My nephew was plowing my driveway and it ran and sounded fine, then he went down the road to plow and it seemed to have problems going up the hill and then it couldn't push any snow. I got on it and when I pushed the throttle there was nothing, it would just idle.I thought it was a fuel problem so the first thing I did was change the filters. When I tried to bleed the fuel system the hand pump on the fuel pump wouldn't do anything. I turned the engine to get it off the cam (several times) as the manual said as still nothing. I bought a new fuel pump and put it on and the hand pump worked and I bled the lines to the fuel filters. I pressed on the old pump a few time and eventually it did something but it seemed like it was stuck. I started the engine and it would just run with idle for a few seconds and then it would stop. So I thought maybe I need to bleed the high pressure lines. I disconnected three of them like the manual said. Actually the manual said loosen them so I think I screwed up. Anyhow, I reconnected them and just loosened them and put the throttle in the 1500 rpm position and cranked the engine. It was kinda hard to tell if all the air was out, it didn�t seem like a lot of fuel was flowing but I�ve never done this before so I don�t know how much should come out. I retightened them and started the engine. It would run for a few seconds (not fast) and then stall. Any suggestions? I hope it isn�t my injector pump but does it sound like it and if so how do I test it. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to explain what I�ve done so far. Thanks. Phil
