Hey guys- I could sure use some help. I've been browsing this forum for a couple years getting answers to all my tractor needs. I'm baffled at this point, which doesn't take a whole lot to begin with but can't seem to find an answer searching the forums.
I have a Massey Ferguson 1529 with almost 150 hours. Here lately, after running it for an hour it becomes rough running. It seems to do it more on an incline when really pulling a loud and sucking the fuel. It has occasionally done it on a decline and level ground. I have noticed while running the fuel in the fuel bowl hovers around the bottom of the filter. I'm thinking, this CAN'T be right? With the tractor OFF the fuel only fills up to about half way in the bowl. I have included pics below. The picture with fuel is before I started the engine. The second is after running the RPM's to 2500 and back down to Idle which is right at 1000.
Currently I have changed the fuel filter, inspected and cleaned air filter. Cleaned out the fuel tank. There seems to be good flow from the tank to the fuel bow. When I remove the line from the fuel bowl the fuel comes a screaming.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
