1975 Case 450 Crawler fuel question

Mashford ยท 2026-04-30 13:07

I can get it to start fine and it idles and drives well. When I open the bleeder screw on the top of the secondary fuel filter ZERO fuel comes out. I just find this odd and do not know if I should spin the filter off and see if there is a blockage or just leave it alone. Any input? Motor is a 4 cylinder Case 188D diesel engine

    Problem is resolved. I took the bleeder screw off the next day after letting the machine sit over night. After about 2 min the fuel started flowing out. Must have been a bit of a blockage further down the line.
