Does anybody have information on how to bleed the fuel system?

Never use starting fluid on a Kubota dieselWow. So basically make sure you have a good battery and get to cranking? Thanks for your help.
Do you think I should try to loosen a fuel line or injector nut?
I also saw a video of a guy spraying diesel in the air filter the same as you would do with starting fluid on a gas engine. Any thoughts?
That would be a HUGE NO NO!!!!!!!!!!I also saw a video of a guy spraying diesel in the air filter the same as you would do with starting fluid on a gas engine
Little east of LaGrange, we’re probably 110-120 miles apart. I found the manual online but thought there must be some other way to do it. If I continue to have problems I will let you know. Thanks to allTexasGlenn…. (where I live also)… I also have a M4700 and NEVER USE STARTING FLUID OR ETHER unless you want to ruin that lovely 5-cyl engine!
You should obtain and read the Owner’s Manual. The M4700 has a return-line and all you have to do to “bleed” this system is start it up and let it idle for about a minute and ….DONE!
If you contact me privately I can help you with the manual….
WHERE in Texas are you? I”m 40 west of Austin.
Update: Wanted to add that this was a result of a clogged fuel filter and possibly gunk in the tank and lines.Believe it or not we live about 4 miles from there and haven’t been over there in 4!or 5 years. Have had a couple Hruska’s kolaches though. Don’t know when I will get to work on the tractor yet but I will keep you updated.
The atmosphere contains spores and mold and as you burn fuel the atmosphere enters the tank thru the vent (usually the fuel cap is vented) and if you don’t use a biocide and the tractor sits the spores and mold live in the bottom of the tank and eat the fuel for food. Then they “poop” wastes and it clogs and slimes the fuel system.Not that I know of. I did use a product called “mechanic in a bottle” a few times. Also used some StaBil if I knew I would not be using the tractor for a while.
