Hey all, I had my tractor stop on me when I was reversing downhill and I assumed it ran out of fuel, quite likely it did.
I put in 20 litres of diesel, and bled the lines to injectors and at the fuel filter and still no go.
I asked a mate to lend a hand towing the tractor to a flat spot. I put on a new fuel filter as it was something i had put on my to-do list and bled everything again, and still no go.
the fuel pump seems to be working well, the electrical line to the solenoid in the injector pump was frayed and exposed, so replaced it. tested that the solenoid still works. seem to.
i was testing again with a mate yesterday and he thinks there's still air in the lines somewhere even though it's been bled out out 10+ times as he sees air bubbles at the injector line when we crack the nut there.
could it be a seal on the fuel filter.
I replaced the filter from a Sakura SFC- 5708 to a genuine CNH filter, which looked a bit different and had a rubber seal in the centre unlike the Sakura. Could that be the issue?
If i use a engine start aerospray, the motor will go, but soon as i stop spraying it stops so it still seems a fuel issue. so either the solenoid is not open enough or filter or something else?
