workmaster 45 quit.
i changed the fuel filter. it would run 2 seconds and quit -no sputtering-just quit like i turned off the key. finally it ran long enough to get to the barn. next day it ran for a minute then quit.
i drained all the fuel and put new fuel in. checked and drained the sediment bowl. bled the air bleeder line on top of the fuel pump. still run 2 seconds and quit. i have about an inch high squirt of fuel out of the bleeder on top of the fuel pump. also the bleeder on top of the filter has fuel out of it.
when it runs fuel comes out of the lines at the injectors but by just starter cranking i can not get fuel out of the line at the injectors.
most times when it runs i have just bled the bleeder on top of the pump. this one has me thinking about an air trouble.
i ran a wire up the bleeder return hose on the filter but can not tell how far i am getting. [ at least 18 inches.] injecting some air on the bleeder hose does not seem to go any where. it may be blocked[ there is a reference to this in the book] but it started and ran for 10 minutes after checking this hose.
i wonder if the two bleeder hoses are connected and plugged at the top, but if they go into the tank how can they get plugged.
it just dont act like the pump but what else could it be? is there a shot off solenoid on the pump that can get hot and cut off fuel?
