Well there it is...Issue solved. The air leak was there, it camouflaged under the bell housing and on top of the tank. The mechanics had changed the in line filter so often that in one or successive times they gouged the rubber inside the hose, creating a flap of rubber protruding done in...

Ok, makes sense...I couldn't see that much air coming out for so long very logical. I will check the seals, connections etc. But wouldn't there be weepage where the air leak is? Or if I squeeze off the line whilst the pump runs, wouldn't there be a fuel spray from the leak? I will let you...

Thankfully it is not metal!! had that issue with an old bike. .. It's plastic and pretty much see thru. It looks clean for the most part. I going to pull the main fuel filter and empty it in a clean container, fill it and reinstall, then, going to set the fuel pump up to cycle fuel in...

correction: Untrained eye!!

good points King and Todd....I did a test for a few minutes I hooked everything back up and and put the the fuel tube submerged in an bit of diesel. I pushed prime button and in the submerged pool I pumped about a gallon of fuel and a ton of bubbles. the upstream system is full of air...

That is a good idea, I know the kind you mean. I will have a look at that. Thanks

I do believe we have solved the running issue. I set up a better remote IV with fresh fuel and started up the unit>> IT jumped into action and ran like a scared Cat. I let it run for 20 mins and observed no issues with the unit. I shut it down conclusion for me is that the engine and fuel...

to member 1810 that replied "Did you use the right bleeding procedure" I would say no to that now. I never primed the pump. Thanks for your comment, and spurring the convo Again if some one could confirm that nut is for priming the pump, That would be appreciated.

I will purchase some new fuel. Eliminate that variable I will bypass the fuel system with a gravity tank Is there a proscribed flow rate that the pump requires? gallons/minute or liters/min? thanks for the direction.. I know this a puzzle that can be solved. l

Well I set up the remote tank, disconnected the fuel pump..put the injector lines back together and left one cracked at the injector. I cracked the 10 mm nut on the inlet line fitting,, assuming this was where they used to install a knob. I drained fuel thru the nut by gravity , and it let air...

I will try the IV bottle method tonight. It is possible that the flow is not adequate despite my thoughts. It does not have a knob on the inlet of the fuel pump but it is double bolted... so that must be the bleed nut for the pump.... thanks for your knob comment it got me thinking I will...

I have followed the process for bleeding the lines to the injectors. one line cracked at the injector at a time. no results. cracking for 20 seconds at a time to prevent starter burn out, repeatedly. I finally took all the lines back off the injector pump to see what happens and nothing...

Well I am finally forced to ask for specific advice. I have a D1105 in light tower that I just can't get going. I have followed many of the threads on here and concluded that my injector pump was not doing it's thing. I pulled the pump asked a service place to test it, was told they don't...
