All,
My 1985 Universal M-18 is being a pain. After purging all old fuel, changing all filters, new fuel pump she is dying after running seemingly well for 30-45 minutes. I bleed the fuel line at the bleeder screw. It appears some air escapes, restart, and runs well for another 30-40 mins. Then repeat.
I can not figure out one - if air is the problem and two - where the air is coming from. When I bleed it at the bleeder screw some air comes out before a constant flow of diesel. I have my theories:
1. The gaskets on the bleeder screw are shot from over tightening and are now drawing in air.
2. There is a gap on a hose somewhere introducing before the fuel pump.
Pretty perplexing. Any thoughts welcome
