Any ideas on this. Cat 248 skid loader. When I started on it wouldn't turn over by hand until changed the oil then it started to turn over by hand. Then it fired right up and ran for about 5 minutes then shut off. Then it wouldn't start again until I bleed the fuel lines now it runs for about 30 seconds after long cranking. I've changed the fuel filter, water separator, checked for air leaks in the fuel lines and made sure fuel shutoff solenoid is working. Thanks
Have you checked that the passages in the head of the fuel filter assembly, plus all the fittings connected to it, are clear of any obstructions.? try removing the two plugs #4 and/or the tee #9 and take a look
