290 Diesel Bleeding Procedures

LJS30 · Apr 20, 2019

Well guys I have my pump on and now need to bleed the system. I did it on my 165 a long time ago so the idea is not fresh in my mind. Do I begin at the filter, then go to the injector unit, then each injector? Where does the lift pump come into play?

Lift pump is used to bleed the filter, then the pump. Pump is then bled by cranking as if starting with the three injector line nuts loose at injector. When you see fuel at injectors, tighten line nuts and start engine.

Ok so you want to start by cracking the bleed screw on the filter housing and using the hand lever on the lift pump to pump fuel until to air comes out of that bleeder then tighten the bleed screw up again. Then move to the injector pump, loosen the BOTTOM bleed screw first and pump the hand lever again till no air comes out of that one, then tighten, Then loosen the TOP bleed screw and pump till no air comes out and re tighten, tractor should start then, once it starts loosen the top bleed screw on the injector pump again as the tractor idles just to make sure theres no air left in that part of the pump then re tighten.
