Ford 5000, minor splutter uphill

Hi Everyone
I replaced the fuel filters and put a new lifter on my Ford 5000.
To get going again I bled the fuel filters and on the injector pump. I didn't crack open any of the injector lines. It started aok and was running fine yesterday. I went up and down a few hills across and she ran a treat.

I ran it again today then twice as I was going up an incline I felt a little splutter, vague loss of power. It seemed to happen just as I was coming off the incline. It didn't stall and everything appears fine after. Prior to changing the filters/lift pump I have never had (felt) it happen.

There is plenty of fuel in the tank. I am wondering if one of the lines from the injector to the cylinder could have an air lock/block, is this possible?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks for any help.
Lachlan
 
PS: I do maintain the oil in the injector pump. It's regularly drained of the diesel it fills with and replenished with oil.
 

Injection lines would have bleed out within a few seconds after the engine started.
Check fuel flow from the tank, the screen in the valve could be plugged or missing allowing trash into the valve.
Next check the lift pump.
 

Could have been a bubble of air in the filter that broke loose on the incline, or could have been somewhere else. Could also be due to gravitation variations creating an ion storm in the galaxy.

Hey Sotxbill, hoping it's what you said with a few rogue bubbles finding their out to this galaxy. thanks for helping

Also, I'll keep an eye out for loose ions too and poke 'em back into the right galaxy too. :lol:
