Started my BX22 this morning, ran for about 2 minutes, then started belching white smoke, coughed, and died! I had topped off the fuel tank earlier in the week and now see that the vent cap on the container was open, had been setting outside while we received some torrential rains so assuming I got water in my fuel? Removed the fuel line just prior to the filter and have emptied the tank. Will go out later today and get new diesel. While I had the fuel line disconnected, I turned the engine over until the smoke stopped to clear the lines. Realize I will need to bleed the fuel line, manual says to turn the key to on for 30 seconds prior to starting the tractor. Anything else I should try before I add a bit of fuel and try to start again?
Thanks in advance.
