NH TC40 starting problem.

[Charger500]

I am looking for some troubling shooting help. I was putting a new fence line in and parked my NH TC40 on a slope pointd up hill. I went to start it and it sounded like it was running out of fuel. It was low but being on the slope I believed caused it not to be able to get fuel. I put 4 gals in and cranked it again and it die. I open up the bleed off nut and purged the air out until only fuel came out. Still would not start. I dragged it back to the house on level ground and open the top of the lines to all injectors and cranked the engine with full throttle like the operators manual says to do until nothing but fuel comes out. Problem is I cranked it numerous times and no fuel came out of the injector lines at all. Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Thanks Bruce in Oklahoma.

Check your manual...there should be a procedure similar to this...

Getting air out of fuel system on Yanmar powered JDs

1.Loosen Bleed screws on filter
2.Turn key to first position
3.Tighten screws when fuel flows free of bubbles
4.Loosen Bleed screw on injection pump
5.Tighten screw when fuel flows free of bubbles
Start Engine...
If no start..., then repeat Steps 1-5 and then
6.Loosen all injector nuts...(drop 17mm wrench in dirt...)
7.Use starter to turn engine over
8.When fuel appears at injectors, tighten injector nuts (using 17mm wrench which must be retrieved from ground... )
9.Start Engine...
If no start..., then repeat Steps 1-9 and practice special language skills...

If you repeat steps 1-9 enough...get out battery charger and watch rest of NASCAR Race...
