Filter changes and now fuel issues.

[Eric1973]

Changed out all the filters on my 4720H.
After I installed the fuel filter the tractor will start and run, but after a couple minutes it will lose RPMs and die, but I can start it right back up pretty easily.
I've tried flushing all the air out of the bowl and the injector lines.
I installed the PF981 filter from Baldwin Filters this time around..

Any ideas on what I should be checking?

Thanks..

If there was a problem BEFORE you changed the filter,you neglected to tell us. Details are important when asking for help long distance.
Clear that up before we commence guess-t-mating.

Jaxs, There wasn't a problem before, just changing the filter for maintenance.

Then your problem must be from the new filter. Either it sill has air or it's not quite the right filter.

On the other hand, the tractor does have an electric lift pump. Just leaving the key in the On position will run the pump and should take all the air out.

Did you put in the o rings in right......

the outlet side of the filter housing was leaking air.
Ended up taking the housing off, used a punch to spread the nipple a little bit and then re set it into the housing.
Just ran it for about an hour moving some dirt, skid a log into the landing and moved some logs around in the landing area.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my thread guys.
