I believe I ran out of fuel yesterday with my white 125. Can someone please give me some advice on re-priming the fuel system. When using it yesterday, it just all of a sudden died.

Don"t overlook the fuel shutoff solenoid on the injection pump. THe symptoms sound like it if you are not sure it was out of fuel. If you are lucky the solenoid will give warning signs, as in acting as if it is out of fuel. Marc

Mark,

I partially suspect this, but when I turn the key, I can here the relay click. Not sure if that means it is absolutely working. I put new filters on it and pump have fuel at what I believe to be the bleed screw, but still cant get it to crank. Try more tomorrow.

On my M5 Moline it was just about impossilable to get it going after running out, has to pressurize the tank. I then installed a primer squeeze ball like on a boat motor (I think Bobcats use them also) and 3 or 4 squeezes and it's runnunig. I also put one on my 1070 case which has a hand pump but sure doesn't pump if there is no fuel in the filters. Steve

crack the bleeder ontop of the secondary filter and prime the filters thru until fuel comes out. Re-tighten the fitting and then a line until fuel comes out on the line off the pump. If needed, crack lines at the injectors. I was able to just crank our 145 over until it self primed for us last fall when i ran out of fuel.
