Hello fellas, I need some advice!
I have a 5035 with 35 hours on it. About 10 days ago, I started it to let it warm up while I unloaded 3 round bales of hay with my CTL and when I went to get on the tractor it was not running and would not start. Checked for water in original fuel filter and it was good; Loosened fuel injector pump side line on filter and one to two pumps had it giving pure fuel (this rules out a filter issue, correct?); finally, bled lines at injectors (which were dry) and it started up and ran fine. Today, it started and ran fine till I got to the back 40 acres and once I cut it off, it wouldn't start again. I went through the same process as above and it started up, only to die on it's own about 15 minutes later. Repeated process and it dies in 10 minutes. It seems to be getting air in the system somehow, but I see no leaks. Could faulty fuel shut off solenoid cause an issue, where I had fuel to the injector pump and air in lines after the injector pump? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Duke
