Mahindra 4035 after bleeding the air out run but at 2000 and greater rpm’s sputters and blows out black then followed by blue smoke.

I have no opinion on that, other than I wouldn't trust the sleeves. When you've exhausted all other avenues and still have air getting into the fuel (provided that is indeed the issue) then I guess I would cut those sleeves off as well and install clamps. See what difference that makes.

Just another thought here. As I recall many of the "air in fuel" issues I ran into on the 4025 and 4035 were eventually eliminated by adding an electric supply pump between the tank and the filter base. At the time Mahindra warranty wouldn't recognize it because Mahindra technical hadn't approved it. I did it anyway and it seemed to solve the problem.

Will this type of pump work?

It will, but probably not for long. That style has the shortest lifespan of any electric pump I've ever tried. I prefer the square block type. Have installed a number of them with good results.

Have another question about the fuel tank removal on my 4035. The service manual it talks about removing the steering column. Any ideas?
