Problems started right after I added a new tank of fuel
Approximately 6 yr old
200 hrs
Properly maintained unit
Fuel filter replaced last fall
Removed fuel, sediment reservoir, very clean no water or dirt
Ordered a pressure tester from Amazon said it was supposed to have 5 pounds of pressure at the fuel pump tested it was zero
Reprimed at the injector pump
Clean fuel no bubbles
Nice stream
Order a fuel pump from Amazon
Has a Prime Lever on it
Lever fell off while I was installing it
Order another one off Amazon sent this one back
Lever fell off again
Order a little more expensive one
Install it
No change Still starts and stalls
Bought a brand new can filled it with fuel from a popular Circle K fuel station sells a lot of diesel
Drain the tank completely overnight
Pouring the new fuel
Prime, the unit at injector pump
When it starts up, runs a minute or two
And stalls
Remove the solenoid off the side injector pump
No change

Pull the fuel line off the intake side of the fuel filter housing. The fitting going into the fuel filter housing has been known to catch junk and plug up. While you are at it, make sure the flow through the passage ways in the housing is clear and clean. Also with line off, drain some fuel out of the tank and watch the speed of it to see if you have something in the tank restricting flow out of the tank.

Something dumb and people forget,, coff coff coff, :rolleyes:,,, is the rubber fuel lines, they do sometimes get soft and will collapse limiting fuel, sometimes running under idle but die when put under load,,, just MHO

Thanks
You guessed it
There were some wasps junk in the black fuel can spout
Went to the fuel filter and partially plugged it
I removed the filter housing and cleaned it
Reinstalled it and primed it
It works great now
Thanks for the idea
Im so happy
Be blessed

It’s so strange none of the debris ended up in the fuel filter
Not even a speck of dirt
