I've surveyed the other threads regarding this but am not clear on what to do...to make matters worse, I have shop manual and an owner's manual that use different pictures and different terminology to solve the problem...anybody shed light on the following:
1. the shop manual talks about a vent cock on the fuel injection pump needing to be opened while starting the engine...what does this look like?
2. the owner's manual talks about a fuel filter cock -- is that the same as the vent cock above?
3. the owner's manual also says to bleed air by pushing down the priming pump by hand but doesn't show where this is located or what it looks like ( go figure... ) ...anybody?
4. One other thing...when the tractor stopped, it stopped without sputtering first...I'm assuming I ran out of gas but could it be something else stupid that I did?
So i have one document telling me to pump to bleed air and another telling me to open an air vent...I have no idea which is correct, yet they are instructions for the same machine.
I'd appreciate help...the beast is in the middle of the driveway... and not moving! No power for 7 days and now this...I'd be forever indebted to somebody who can post a picture of the important parts...
thanks, John.
