pressure is a combination of flow and resistance.. with an injector line cracked open.. you will have very little flow and no resistance.. thus no appreciable pressure.

Makes sense. Thank you.

two other things you can check is your fuel valve in the tank of the tractor is has a filter on it or should I have seen them stop up after running a little then as soon as it dies the clock lets loose because there's no vacuum on it also in the back of the injection pump when the input line screws on there is a filter and a metering valve that could have trash in it

Thank you! I'll check that as well.

Had to laugh out loud, sounds like my luck!

I had my 3000 stuck on a stump while bush hogging , another time sunk to the frame , all while running out of gas and no hydraulics!!!

I think the longest I've had it running continuously without something breaking is about 3 hours!

I got it running although I haven't fixed the leaky radiator yet. Replaced the fuel shutoff which came with a new filter attached. Replaced the fuel filters with spin on adapters and cleaned out the lines and filter plate. After priming it started right up and ran fine.

New filters with adapters.
