Good afternoon to all,
I have an Case 1840 Skid Steer ID# JAF0221866* that has been giving me issues starting then staying running. The first time it happened the engine revved high, low, high, low, died and would not restart. Before this happened it had been running without any issues or indicators that something was wrong. Thought maybe I ran out of fuel so put in 5 gallons but the machine would not go. Assumed air in the lines so went from fitting to fitting all the way to the injectors, cracking each and letting diesel weep out, using the lift pump prime to push fuel. Changed oil+filter , fuel filter, and air filter. It's warming up here now, but this was all during the winter so I had been treating the fuel with K100. Took a shot in the dark and replaced the lift pump, and first try, without cracking any lines, it started and ran strong for roughly an 1 1/2 hrs, under load and idling. Then sure enough, same issue as described above, high, low, high, low, dead. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
