My buddy bought a GC1705, he asked me to check it out because I have one, the tractor starts great when it's hot, when the engine sets for an hour in 80F temps it acts like it's not getting fuel, it starts but cranks for a while. The glow time or plugging the block heater in makes no difference.
It has a new fuel filter and gasket, it has good fuel in it, I loosened the banjo bolt on the injector pump and turned the key and the fuel pump is working fine. I don't understand why it seems to loose it's prime. All hoses and clamps seem to be fine. The only thing I can think of is maybe he has an injector pump leak somewhere and it's sucking air but I see no fuel leaks throughout the whole tractor.
Is there anything I'm missing here, I know some about how it works but I'm sure there are people here that know a lot more. I assume the return line is there so that warm fuel goes back into the feed line so that it doesn't freeze.
Any help would be appreciated..
