Anyone know about duetz BF3L2011 3cyl. air cooled diesels? I think mechanical lift pump crapped out. Unit would not start. Did all the normal stuff, filled filter with fuel, craked and purged injector lines... nada. so I bypassed the mechanical pump, used a brake bleeder on the fuel retuen line to prime entire system. Pump runs now. Any Ideas?

does it happen when you cold start then run a good idle speed and starves for fuel, does it happen right after you fill the fuel tank. allways have a full can of go juice. rolling it over with the battery over does mot work.

Redman are you 100% sure one of your e-stops aren't triggerd? That shuts off your fuel. I know it sounds simple but a wire might be shutting off your fuel? Happened to me on mine.

thanks guys, I checked the e-stops, and wiggled the wires that are connected to them. I have got a new fuel pump coming, 60 bucks, I will check my e-stop wiring better and replace fuel pump, as I said I have the pump bypassed now and it runs. thanks again

Did you check the air filter?
