D9G Trouble Starting.....Fuel Issue?

I guess at this stage the quickest route to determine that would be to replace it with a known good transfer pump

That is true I ordered one last night... Here is to hoping she will start.... if not that then probably the injection pump I would imagine.

Did you fill the filter housing with fuel then put the cover on? Bleed air at top of filter housing while pumping priming pump? then when clear fuel appears bleed air at each pump while cranking starting with front pump and work your way back?

The other tactic that is used on the small tractors is to very lightly pressurize the fuel tank to "force" the fuel through a worn or unbled pump. Works like a charm and is a lot less messy than bleeding : ) Put about 5psi to the tank using a rubber cap from Home Depot. Drill a hole in it and put in a spare Schrader valve that you have lying around the shop - tubeless style works or screw-down

Okay, I heard about this. So take off gas cap... Plug it not sure what a rubber cap is? Are you referring to a giant black plug??? Thank you for your help

Check the clearance between the transfer pump cover and gears. Should run 0.0008 to 0.0020" max. Resurfacing the gear side of the cover can sometimes allow recovery if excessively worn. Also check the gear tip to housing clearance. Usually about 0.004" is max.

Adding air pressure to the tank requires flow past the pump determined by clearances. Rapid flow would also be an indicator of pump wear.

an old inner tube cut to fit around the tank neck with the fill valve with a clamp works pretty well also
