OK...here goes. Was using my backhoe, knowing that the fuel gauge was reading near empty when sure enough it sputtered, puked, and then stopped. OH, boy!!! First time I ever ran out of fuel. So, filled the tank, changed both fuel filters, filling both with diesel. Took a chance and turned the engine. WELL, started right up, pushed it to full throttle for 3-4 minutes. Ran just fine. Parked it, done for the day.Next day go to start it.....starts right up, drive it to where I need it, start using the backhoe and sputters, puked and stops. Well, we know that tank is full, filters are new etc. Followed the manual to "bleed air out of fuel system". Notices that I CANNOT get fuel from the fuel pump with the hand primer up to the intake manifold of the filters. So took that line off and blew some air thru it and was clear. That's where I'm stuck. No matter what I do with the hand primer no fuel flows to the manifold. ALSO, did check the fuel supply line to the pump by completely taking it off and fuel just "gushes" thru that line so feel comfortable that fuel is getting to the pump. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
