Bobcat 843-Restarting problem

[tdoogs]

My brother borrowed my skidsteer and before returning it wanted to do the maintenance. He changed the oil and filter and fuel filter. Now it won't start. He has bled all but one fuel line (it won't come loose), have fuel to the pump, to the diesel pump after that, but never got fuel to the injector. It won't hit at all. Any other suggestions?

You have to bleed the fuel filter first

Did that.

Did that.

Well, we did what we thought was bleeding the filter. How should it be done to make sure we did it correctly?

Did you try cracking all of the injector lines and cranking it until you get fuel?

Bleeding the air depends on the serial number. The older machines didn't have a primer bulb so were a pain. Hopefully you have a primer bulb. If so open the bleed fitting on top of the fuel filter bracket, squeeze the primer bulb until fuel comes out the fitting.
