'79 vintage JD570A grader w/6059 engine won't start.. Mechanical fuel pump suspect as fuel from tank gets that far. Next in line after the pump is the glass fuel filter box which shows mostly empty and primer lever won't help. Turn engine over for ten seconds and no change in fuel level in glass. Electrical connections to shut off solinoid on injector pump good as I can hear it working.
Backround is after sitting for forty days and nights, went to start and it ran fine for less than ten seconds then stopped like I turned the key off. I don't want to mess with the injection pump, but am willing to crack a line fitting if necessary. The low pressure fuel pump was replaced around 25 yrs. ago so it's might be time again.
If I'm I missing something here, please tell me. Will go to town tomorrow for parts for fuel pump replacement through JD dealer.
