Allis Tractor Keeps dying ---HELP

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a problem with my 185 Allis Tractor.  When I start loading logs wth it, it runs about 2 to 3 minutes then it acts like it is running out of fuel.  I can take the return line loose off of the top of the injector pump and put air pressure in it, then it will run like it should for about 3 minutes then it starts acting like it is running out of fuel again.

	Good morning, take the check valve off the return line and break the glass ball out of it. This will let you run for a while but you need to get the pump worked on some day. Rubber ring is breaking down in there and plugging the return check valve. Good luck Joe

	Something in the fuel tank probably. My 7050 had that fuel bacteria in it. I removed the tank and flushed out blobs of brownish goo and then treated the fuel with antibacterial additive. My 190 had feed sack pull strips in it so I drained and used one of those grabber dewhickies and then a copper tube taped to the shop vac to suck out what the grabber couldn't reach. Might want to use caution as the shop vac could cause diesel fuel vapors to ignite. Wouldn't be good. I took the vacuum off it's tank and did this outside the shop. I wouldn't even think of doing that with gasoline. Heard of someone killed that way once. Well, me thinks I rambled a bit. Did this start all of a sudden or has it been a progressive thing? Could be seal coming apart in pump and clogging things up. Father-in-laws 190 did that. Needed a rebuilt pump.
