Ts90 fuel problems

[tomildinio]

Got a new to me TS90 and in effort to be good I threw new oil filters and a diesel filter. Cleaned out glass bowl on it. Now the pump not pumping anything. Won't fill glass bowl. No pressure anywhere.
What did I break??? Pipe to tank is OK. Tank is full. Filled the filter. Doesn't make any difference.

Thanks

Don't now the tractor but is the tank lower than the pump. Is it electric pump or manual if manual they have a metal filter in them could need cleaning . Air lock could be shaken the out end of pump.????

Tank is under the stairs and would be lower yes. It's an electric pump sitting on top of the filter housing. She is whirring. But nought moving.

Pump. Worn out of the end in the tank is blocked

Can blow into tank from glass bowl and can suck diesel out handy enough. Must be pump. Tractor was flying before I went near it.

If it's like a TM there's a plastic bleed nipple on top of the housing, crack this open with the ignition on.

Also fill the diesel tank and stuff a rag in the filler along with an airline to help it start priming.

If you have tried starting it and there was air in the fuel system you will probably need to slacken the injector pipes off and turn the engine over to get the air out

Ended up sucking fuel from tank through bowl as far as filter and then attaching up the jeep and cracking injector 1 and 2 but just at the pump then off she went. Lesson is lift pump doing shag all.
