Never had this happen before. Just replaced the fuel filter and both rubber lines on the fuel system. Now I can't get the system to re-prime. The fuel tank is full with fresh fuel. When I crack open the line on the leaving side of the lift pump fuel flows out without any air bubbles. When I loosen the bleed on the top of the fuel filter housing and pump the priming lever forever on the lift pump, fuel will just slowly flow out the bleed - nothing forceful like one would expect when pumping the manual priming lever. After shutting off the filter bleed and opening the bleed on the inline injector pump fuel will trickle out of the bleed after pumping the priming lever forever again. The tractor will start and run for a minute or so, then runs out of fuel. I've done this over and over for two hours and the same result.
What am I missing??? Could the lift pump on the side of the injector pump be bad? Tractor was running fine prior to the filter and hose change.
Help please!!!
