Hi Guys,
I have an LX 985 that will now only idle. If it idles @ 960 and I rev it up it takes about 1-2 minutes to get to about 1300, then if I try to move the boom the rpms drop off fast. Fuel filter is new, electric pump is pumping, pickup not clogged because I blew through it. Machine has been sitting nearly empty on fuel. I added 5 gallons and it only brought it up to 2 bars on gauge so it was really low. I also cracked the injectors to verify fuel was getting up there. Any Ideas besides lift pump? There are 2 electric connections by lift pump , one is the shut off and the other I don't know what it does because diagram on Messicks site wouldn't appear.
Thanks,
Steve
