Tc30 dies

[kenny2189]

I have a nh tc30 that has a fuel issue. It runs great using foot throttle on and off using the loader and running around but if I use it at higher rpms for awhile like mowing or rototilling it will all of a sudden act like it痴 starving for fuel rpms will slowly drop and the. It will die. To get it restarted I have to loosen the bleeder screw on the injection pump and sometimes it bleeds right away and sometimes I will have to sit there for a few minutes until fuel will flow. I then tighten the bleeder it fires right up and off I go something痴 it will do it again within minutes and sometimes it will run 20-30 minutes. When it first started it would only do it once every couple hours but now it seems to be happening sooner and sooner. I have replaced the fuel filter assembly and checked the fuel line going into it and out of it and the vent line on top of it. I even tried running without the fuel cap on thinking the tank wasn稚 venting. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

since it won't bleed right away, I'd say either a obstruction in the fuel line or dirt in the fuel tank. I am not sure if the TC30 has a fuel lift pump or not. My 1030 and the T4.75 have one.

I "woulda" said fuel cap obstruction but u said u ran it w/o the cap..
Seeing the filters aren't filling up.. I would say> if u have a filter screen on your fuel tank outlet pipe, check it..
OR debis in the tank covering the outlet going to the filters.
Good luck.

Can the fuel filter be upside down?I have a 07 TC 30 and replaced filter twice when it started dying because filter got dirty.When battery started going out it was doing like you said.You might make sure battery is good and hot
