I was brush hogging last week and the tractor started acting like it was out of fuel it started sputtering I got it some place flat and shut it off. I went and got fuel and came back and everything was dead. After digging through the wiring harness I finally found the issue it was the slow blow fuse I replaced it and got it to crank, went through a fuel bleeding procedure but it still would not start. After I dug around some more found the stop solenoid was hung, I fixed that but It still will not start.

I am getting fuel all the way to the injector but I really feel like the injector pump is bad or having issues as I am getting just a dribble when I pull the line off the injector and this should be spraying. These injector pumps are not cheap I was wondering if there is a way to test it or something else I could do to verify this is the problem before I jump in with both feet.

You can hook up a pressure tester, if you don’t have one you can probably borrow one from Autozone or Orielly. I don’t know off the top of my head what the reading should be. I assume you’ve checked/changed the fuel filter?

I have changed the fuel filter, I am guessing I am looking for something in the 000's range and not in the 0's range

Loosen the banjo bolt going INTO the inj. pump & turn on the key.. it should gurgle & spew fuel.. now tighten ban. bolt up..
Loosen all the lines AT THE INJECTORS just a turn or 2.. now try to start the engine & watch for fuel squirting out the loosened lines..
Once u get fuel there, tighten them up.. it should start now.. Good Luck.
BTW> do all this w/ the throttle wide open.. then once it starts, pull it back..
