    B7000 starts, runs for a few seconds then stops

    For anyone having the same problem and visiting this thread - it's now sorted and tractor is back to starting and running well. Having cleaned out the tank, fuel lines, changed filter, lift pump and injectors I was foxed as to why I had the same problem with fresh fuel. Turned out to be that I...

    B7000 starts, runs for a few seconds then stops

    Thank you all for your replies. Never known anything like it. Took tank off, cleaned it out, pressure washed it, dried it. New fuel filter. Lift pump off and cleaned. Injectors out, disassembled, cleaned, spray pattern checked. 12V at glow plugs and both working fine. Fresh diesel. Still same...

    B7000 starts, runs for a few seconds then stops

The engine has run for several hours since then. The fuel should be OK. The tractor has glow plugs and they're working OK. Considering the...

    B7000 starts, runs for a few seconds then stops

    I've changed the fuel filter, cleaned out the lines and cleaned the gunge out of the diaphragm/fuel lift pump. If I keep trying, eventually it will start and by frantic wiggling of the throttle keep going. Then after 30 seconds or so it runs absolutely fine. Any ideas?

    B7000 tapping hydraulics

    Hope I've put this question in the right place - I want to operate a log splitter off my gray import B7000. I was hoping the yellow painted bolt under the seat was access to the hydraulics - but I'm assuming after reading Vic's excellent article that's just for topping up the fluid - and I...
