l295dt fueling problems

[79'Bota-L295DT]

my l295 is haveing major fueling problems. it doesnt even have enough power to move its self in low range, it takes several times to get it to stay running when cold and has to be held full throttle for it to slowly come to life. i started by changing fuel filter and it did nothing, then i cleaned injectors and still nothing. fuel lines seem like there flowing good, im starting to think that its the injector pump. or could it be sucking air? all 3 lines leak where they meet the pump and injectors.

Clean the air filter?? Check the compression??

air filter is new. i removed the the rubber air boot and sprayed some cyclo breakaway penetrating oil to see if the rpms went up, and it instantly reved up. so im really thinking its a fuel issue. as far as compression i dont have a guage to test it... any idea's?

Tighten all lines so they don't leak anymore.
That's where I would start.
Then bleed your lines.

ive done that no luck. and ive tryed cleaning them. im going to order the injector seals soon to seal them in the head.

Did this problem just start?
Maybe the problem is the fuel and not the fuel system.

well it all started when i ran it dry, and gradually got worse after that. i recently put a few fresh gallons of fuel in it and some fuel system cleaner thinking that was the problem, and it did absoulty nothing.

Bleed again.
If that doesn't fix it, double check the proper procedure then bleed again.

ive bleeded it several times, and no luck

Take care of your fuel leaks and your problem will be solved, you are just wasting your time playing around bleeding it when it has a leak no matter how slight.
