I'm having issues with my 773G with about 1790 hours. Used machine in April, parked in garage, went to use it and it started and died. Wouldn't re start, so I started diagnosing. Fuel pickup in tank broke so I replaced it. Charged the battery, started up, used for 3 hours, shut machine off with key and wouldn't start...started diagnosis again...Replaced fuel pickup tube, fuel lines and clamps, primer bulb, transfer pump, still no start. Put a clear hose from transfer pump to fuel pump, primed fuel system, and started engine...runs and stops after a few minutes. Fuel eventually runs back down hose and it quits running. Removed injectors and had tested at dealer shop. #1 was not spraying right, and all injectors didn't pass pressure check. #1 was missing heat shield and copper seal...had injectors rebuilt and tested and reinstalled. Did compression test before and have 540-550 psi in all cylinders. I installed an electric lift pump in the system as well. Started machine and it ran for 15 minutes and stalled when I tried to move it. Machine still doing the same thing! Won't keep prime and stalls after a few minutes....fuel runs back down towards transfer pump....I'm stuck and need help!
 
may be if you left the mechanical fuel pump in the fuel circuit (if it has one) and its diaphragm has a hole in it, it is getting a vacuum leak there , make sure you put the new primer bulb in correctly it has a arrow to show flow direction.

If the mechanical fuel pump has a rip in the diaphragm, it can also let diesel into the crankcase, so pull the dipstick and see if it's over full and smells of fuel.

I totally removed the transfer pump and blocked off the hole and it still happens...by passed it first, leaving the pump on the engine. Still no luck...primer bulb installed correctly.

I was advised to use an electric pump, inlet in a clean can of fuel, outlet hooked directly to the injection pump fitting, bleed the system and try to start it. Started engine, runs about a minute, and the fuel bubbles up in the hose and the engine dies....am I looking at an injection pump problem now? Nothing I do solves this fuel delivery problem....help!!
