Oil & Fuel BX2350 losing power

I believe it's called a " lift pump" ( the little pump that goes clack),,, check to see if there's a screen in the high pressure pump?,,,,

Ok but where is this High pressure pump exactly?

Thinking like you would a car, the main pump is on the back drivers side of the engine. I've never heard of anybody messing with any kind of screen on a BX though, so I don't think there is one.

Well I finally found the problem that has been bothering me for the last year and after many fuel filter changes I discovered that there was an air bubble in the fuel line between the tank and the first fuel filter just above the differential which explains why the problem always got worse when the tractor had been running for awhile. The transmission would heat up the air bubble which would expand and cut off the fuel flow. I blew compressed air through the fuel line to blast out the bubble, problem solved.

Would kinda sorta been nice to figure this out BEFORE removing the deck, roll bar and fenders, but such is life Huh.

Well that's the way things go when troubleshooting sometimes. Hats off to you for figuring it out in the end.
