KX 121-3 -2004 year - wont run

[Keseyman]

I have one of these rigs -- has been running great -- I mean flawless a well kept machine with the 42 HP.
I had serviced all of it except fuel filter.
Last week while traveling in rabbit mode it started to cut out -- I tried cutting back on throttle, but it was all done.
Has full tank of clean new fuel with some Lucas additive in it.
Fuel filter was a mess and changed it and filled glass filter and new filter installed. It is I think pretty simple design with this year of Mfg -- there is no spin on filter -- I have bled it all the way up to the final injectors many times while using a jump assist on battery -- fuel coming out buy hard to tell when air is out and or if that the real problem,
I have been careful to not overheat starter.
Looking for ideas of course of anyone who has experienced the same and been successful on re-starting

Put the throttle to full speed position and bleed it some more is my only advice.

Thank you -- have tried that -- after staring at it the fuel pump is right there and when key is on no clicking -- so maybe what I thought was fuel was residual in the lines and the pump went and caused shut down -- its a FACET POSI FLO 60106 -- going to get one and try that. Thank you for advice !

The electric fuel lift pump quitting would most certainly shut it down even with a full tank of fuel.

I didnt know I had an emergency shut down switch -- I got no manual with the machine -- is it on the engine or in the cab ?

Actually, there is only a manual shut-off lever on your machine on the injection pump.
Any model newer has a red knob in the RH console at the very back.
