Bobcat 324 fuel issue?

Wife is on her way to property now to get firewood. I told her to take a pic.

If you squeeze the fuel bulb (last photo), does it seem like it is moving fuel? Does it firm up after several squeezes? When it is running bad, does squeezing the bulb get it running better pretty quick? Sometimes the check valves in the bulb go bad. The lift pump is right after the bulb. You can get a clear piece of fuel line to put between the lift pump and the filter to see if you are getting bubbles in the fuel. A cracked pick up tube in the fuel tank may be allowing some air in if you see bubbles.

Did you drain a bit of fuel from the filter to see if there was any water? One bad batch of fuel is all it takes to condemn the fuel filter.

Honestly, I've never used the fuel bulb.

Got pic of everything BUT the inj pump.. lol
I can decipher it by looking at the injectors tho..
8 psi will make it run good..
If u T into the inj pump inlet, that’ll give u an accurate reading.

Thanks. I'll check it out and see what I get. Figured pressure was pretty low since typical hose clamps were used.

Went out tonight and checked in the filter drain, no water.
