Oil & Fuel 1736 Fuel Pump Priming

[Ffterman]

I drained my fuel filter canister to clean sediment out of the bottom of it. I tightened everything back up and started the engine up. The canister filled back up and the engine died after running a few seconds. Tractor will not not start now. I can hear the fuel pump running but it will not start up after 3 attempts. How do I bleed the air out of the fuel system? I think that’s my problem here.

Problem solved. I tried to start it 2 more times with not luck. I loosened up the air vent bolts on top of both filters and pumped the primer until all the fuel was clear of air bubbles. I tightened the air vent bolts back up and it started right up.
