Oil & Fuel TC35 Fuel Injection

[Carykong]

Good evening forum
Apparently ran my fuel lines empty or partially empty. Fuel cut off handle was nudged into neutral position by flexible line in close proximity. Engine died on a hill. Bled filter bowl. Topped off the tank. I have good fuel flow to the injector pump. Also, have fuel flow at #1 cylinder injector,near the radiator. No fuel flow at the injectors at #2 or #3. Any suggestions? No Start. No fire.

lOOSEN THE INLET LINE & SPIN THE ENGINE.. Make SURE u have steady fuel & NO AIR, tighten back up.
They are a "BEAR" to bleed out once u run'm outta fuel..
Loosen ALL the lines AT THE INJECTORS & spin the engine till they squirt..& tighten back up.
Like I said.. they're a real "bear" to bleed.. Just keep at it..
OH, & MAKE SURE the electric shut off solenoid is working, if it has 1.. or you'll never get it to start..

Today I loosened all three injector lines at the head and still no fuel at 2 and 3. Fuel at 1. Tried for about 20 minutes, one at a time, all three, and re checked flow at the injector pump which was good.

Befuddled, tomorrow I will bled the fuel filter bowl again and try with a bigger battery.

Post #2.. Sentence #3.. Loosen ALL THE LINES {at the same time}..
Its possible u sucked some garbage into the pump..??
U did FILL the fuel tank, yes?? Gravity & quantity are your friend at this point..
If it boils down to it, you might hafta pull the pump.??
Heres hoping for the best.. Good Luck..

The first time I replaced the fuel filter on my TC33 everything went great in spite of me not priming the filter bowl. The engine almost died but I reacted fast enough by going full throttle and it turned out fine.
The second time was not so good. Same mistakes (I can be a slow learner) It took me 3 days to get it going. Loosened the injectors and ran the battery dead recharged the battery over night and ran it dead again. Recharged it again but this time I loosened the lines at the pump. When they had fuel coming out I tighten them up and got the fuel to the injectors.
I am not an expert nor am I that experienced but thats what worked for me.
Make sure you are full throttle when bleeding the pump and or injectors.

I removed the lines at the injector pump today. Fuel exits #1. No flow at #2 or #3. Suggestions?

 

[Carykong]

In fact the fuel shoots out of the injector pump at #1 line 3 feet into the air. Nothing at #2 or #3.

I'm no expert, but once you confirmed flow at #1 did you close it to see if anything would come out of #2 & #3. If all 3 are open is maybe #1 just the path of least resistance?

I hope you are able to get flow through all 3, see attached bleeding procedure.

Book say to do 1 at a time.
thclimer has it.
