I have a problem with the engine in a skid steer loader. The machine was working fine recently but stuck in a field, started to cough and splutter then cut out. It started again just enough time to return it to the garage then cut out. The engine would turn over, fire for a second and then cut out. After a few attempts to start it, it would not fire at all.Cleaned the engine down with degreaser and a hose to see if there were any leaks that might hint at where the problem was. I discovered the fuel lift pump had a screw overtightened that has damaged the pump. I replaced the fuel lift pump and some of the fuel lines whilst I was at it. The engine still will not fire. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the Deutz BFM 1011F does not need bleeding when out of fuel. I'm not sure about that though. What are your suggestions? Do I need to bleed the fuel system? Never had to bleed a diesel engine before. What do I have to do to bleed it, and is this going to solve my problem? Thanks in advance guys!</blockquote>
