706 Lost power - air in line?

Rktman706 · Jul 31, 2010

The other day I ran my 706 (282) almost out of fuel-it sputtered, I stopped and filled up. Now I have significantly reduced power under load. Would air in the line do this or should I look somewhere else. Thanks.

Yup it will and you will need to bleed the system. This would be a good time to change fuel filters also. If there is dirt or debris in the tank it could plug you filters and give the same result.

Ya don't have to bleed it; use it and it will bleed itself.

update: I bled all injectors while running. Each injector bleeding caused a miss, so all cylinders appeared to be working. I also changed fuel filters and tried it without the air cleaner but I still have the miss at high rpm with little power. Any ideas?
