Hi all,
I changed the fuel filter on my L3450 4 cylinder a couple of days ago and today I used the tractor for about 45 minutes with zero issues. I turned it off to grab a glass of iced tea and when I came back 10 minutes later it would start for a few seconds and shut off.
The issue 'felt' like air intrusion so I bled the lines at the injectors. I did get some air at each of the back three.
The number 1 injector line isn't getting any fuel at all to speak of. I can completely take the line off while the engine is running and nothing comes out but maybe a drip or two.
I took a video of the issue HERE. (Sorry for bad quality, it's just an iPhone video)
I have heard people talk about a bleeder screw on the injection pump but I can't find one and the owners manual doesn't show anything about one.
Thanks.
