2cyl Perking trying to prime fuel line???

bob2299 · Jul 12, 2013

Hello Last year I put this tractor away and it worked

this year I replaced some fuel lines, and the fuel filter, then primed the line up to the 2 vent plug on the injection pump so upper and lower vent plug are fine fuel up to there.

Then loosen the three pressure line at the injector connection, and nothing, nothing.

and like I said last year it was working fine, I have prime this fule system in the past, once the fuel is at the injector pump lower and upper bleeding screws ussually it's all good

can any one help me

thnx.

Maybe an obvious question, but is there enough fuel in the tank to push it to the pump?

OK found out what I was doing wrong

once the injector pump has been bled, and that the upper and lower bleeder screws have no air, just turn the key and wait until the fuel goes up the lines, I was trying to get the fuel up the lines with the prime pump Duh! and no, asking if the fuel tank had fuel in it was a good question. never know sometime its the easy stuff we forget to look at

Thank you all.
