Have a Linkbelt 2800 Quantum that will not run properly. it seems to be starving for fuel and it stalls under load when the fuel system loses prime. The machine runs really good and strong for about 1 hour after the fuel system is hand primed using the manual pump. Then it loses prime and needs to be pumped back up to run properly for another hour. Eventually when the machine gets hot after a couple hours even pumping it up does not fix the problem. No visible fuel leaks anywhere but it must be sucking air somewhere? fuel tank has been drained and cleaned, all lines blown out with air, fuel/water separator checked, new fuel filter,.. Running out of things to check/do. Could it be a bad fuel/lift pump? Any ideas?
