Regarding my tractor's possible issues with the injection pump!

I had an older Ford that acted the same way when starting on 12v. In my case the shutoff lever wasn’t returning fully and it restricted the fuel a lot. Since you said yours doesn’t reset all the way, the mechanism inside the pump might be sticking. I cleaned and lubricated the lever assembly and it made a huge difference.

Good advice, I hope Arber sees it!!

I still have to get my 2000 working but similar issues, I know for a fact the pump is just gummed up, been through it once now but must have broken something else loose...

Reseal kits are only like $15 for these pumps, not super hard to deal with. I took the starter off and just dealt with the business end of the pump in the back (after taking the top off of course).

There's a check valve and screen in the fuel inlet to the vane pump which could be suspect on yours.

Refurbished pumps aren't super expensive, but yeah, I don't want to do that yet either...
