Hi

I need some help. I own a MF 231 1997 model tractor. I recently changed the oil and oil filter along with the fuel filter (with one purchased at NAPA). After changing the fuel filter, I have not been able to start the tractor. The filter and bowl fill up with fuel (and the tank is full), and I pulled the inflow and outflow lines and fuel flows in and out of the holes. But still the tractor will not start. I put the old filter back on, and the same thing. If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful. I have run my battery down numerous times and still it appears I am getting no fuel flow to the cylinders.

Thanks

John

That tractor has a CAV fuel system on it. If you look you will find a bleeder on the side and top of the pump. Open the one on the side and then the one on top. Do then one at a time and when you have fuel running out of them it should start. If not you may have to loosen the injector lines and crank until you see fuel then it should go. A fuel injection pump will not pump air.
