It’s not a bad job, bleeding the filter housing is a pain! Both times I’ve done it it’s been a headache. Second time wasn’t as bad. I had a suggestion of pulling the bleeder bolt out completely and letting the pump run until fuel comes out it with no bubbles. I’m gonna try that next time. Thanks for watching!
Just FYI, I gave mine a solid 3 or 4 minutes with the vent cracked until it started shooting fuel with bubbles out of the vent. I took the vent plug completely off. Let it run until the bubbles subsided and then cranked it and it ran on the 3rd crank.
I’ll have to try that next time! The first time I did it I had to crack injector lines. It was a huge pain. This time was better but still a huge pain.
@@karnesmotorsports Yeah, these tractors seem to be pretty unforgiving of the slightest bit of air in the system. I was tearing my hair out as mine wasn't even pumping fuel into the water separator at first. I wound up having to take the electric pump off and somehow, in taking it off and taking various lines off, I got the electric pump to start working again. Or it had a piece of shmoo in it. My water separator had alot of gunk in it. I'm guessing it was from old diesel. The good news is, they're self-priming with the electric pump. I've got an old 5 ton army truck that absolutely sucks to prime. 50 or 60 solid pumps on a manual button.
I’ve done it that way, doesn’t seem to make a difference. It’s a pain to get bled out. Just changed it the other day and it took a bunch of cranking, cracked a line, had to give it a snort of either to get it going. Thanks for watching!
Changed my filters tonight, this helped. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!

Would a guy be wrong to prime filter with clean diesel and filling the filter before putting it on, I assume it would cut down on priming time?
