Got the air filter all cleaned out and put back together. Tractor won't start....
What the heck could have gone wrong?
I don't think anything have gone terribly wrong. it is just pretty finicky. You can compress a slug of air back and forth and yet no fuel movement. One suggestion, although I have not has to do it. I assume the fuel valve is open. I crack open the vent just a hair and then would put a towel right over the tank inlet and seal it as best you can . I would use an air nozzle and keep squirting a bit of air on top of fuel in the tank. That might expel some air up to the bleed screw. I'll watch to see if fuel and air bobbles come our, once I get steady fuel and no bobble then I'd close the vent. After that I go to work on inlet to the injector. I meant to tell you but forgot to run the tractor at least 5 minutes to get the engine warm before attempting to bleed. I ran out of diesel once the engine was good and hot and just adding the fuel to the tank without loosening the injector was good enough to slowly start and responsive to accelerator pedal. Do use the glow plug to help a cold engine to start.
