Well been playing with the tractor all day today , (closing in on 8:00pm now) and no luck .
First thing i did was drain out all the old fuel,, flush out the tank , so i could start clean(don't know what might have been in there when i bought the tractor)
I put a compleley new fuel filter assemble on it , the old one looked like it might have been leaking at the shutoff valve and fittings, I also changed all the fuel hoses .
I wanted to eliminate any place it might be leaking or sucking in air when trying to bleed it .
While trying to bleed it , by cranking the engine over , i finally got a little bit of fuel comming out of the line at the #2 and #3 injectors, nothing at the # 1 injector.
How much fuel should i be seeing at the injectors , while cranking the engine?
What i am seeing at no 2 &3 looks like just a few drops at a time , and i have lines quite loose
The amount of fuel comming out kind of looks like it would if you had an "eyedropper " and were squeezing a drop or two at a time out of it .
I really don't want to buy an injection pump if i don't need it , but i'm not sure were to go at this point......
If i should be seeing more that just a few drops while cranking , then maybe the pump is bad .
any help appreciated
I have one more day of "OK" weather , then we drop down into teens for a HIGH temperature for the next week.......................
thanks
Joe
