How Do You Bleed Air from Fuel Filter

[Jake4874]

Hi All;
II changed my fuel filter on my L-48 today. It started but stalled in 10 seconds. It wont restart. Is there a bleeder any place t bleed air?

Locate the fuel lines under the fuel tank. I had this problem too and our mechanic loosened the connection while we turned over the engine numerous times flushing out all the air bubbles

If you've already sucked air into the injection pump your most likely going to need to crack the lines at the injectors and bleed the air out of them.

In the future leave the fuel canister loose turn the fuel on bleed out the air and tighten, and also open the jet start (IN YELLOW) valve to bleed off any air in the lines.

Wolfman, always wondered what that knob was called. Never knew what to call it but always glad I had one to use. May be luck but I've never had to crack a injector line loose to get mine to start. Never understood why all Kubotas don't have one.

Meetoo!

What these guys said...

I shut the fuel off by pinching the line (no valve on the 3800) and swap the filter. As WM said, I put the new filter in the cleaned bowl and screw it on one turn, then I let the fuel start flowing again. As the bowl fills up and starts to leak out the threads, I screw the canister tight.

So far so good. Its started both times with barely a cough after start.
