Farm Pro 2420 stalls

[dangil1992]

Hi I have a farm pro 2420 the has always run great. I put some new Fuel in it the other day and now it stalls out. It just chokes and stops. it all happens very fast. when you wait for a few mins it will restart. I put #2 diesel in it becouse it was all that i can get around here. does anyone have any ideas for me i am going to go check filters in a few mins.

Thanks for you time

#2 diesel is correct. Unless the fuel was contaminated, something else must have happened around that same time. Did you run the engine out of fuel? Did you change a fuel filter?

You did not answer Gregs question? We need the full story to know were to start to help you.

Did you run it out of fuel?

If not is the fuel bowl clear?

If not shut the fuel off at the fuel bowl, remove the black rubber hose from the bottom of the injector pump. Its a banjo bolt. There should be a screen in there as a last filter. Now using a clean jug put the hose in it and turn back on the fuel. It should flow about 1 qt per minute. If not you have either a blocked in the tank filter that is mounted as part of the fuel shut off or you have a internally collapsed fuel hose.

Not trying to be a jerk here but we need all the info we can get. If you want you can call me on the phone and I will try to help you out.

no i did not run it out of fuel and never have.
i need a new filter.
and some how the sediment bowl is cracked and been dripping. it is the plastic one so i am going to find a new bowl and filter and drain the tank and clean it.
i will start there and see if that works and get back with you.
there was a little trash in the sediment bowl.

Do yourself a big favor and get a replacement fuel bowl and fuel line assembly from this guy. I have one and its worth the money. Its all better stuff and has a real glass bowl.

As for the spin on fuel filter I have a Jinma 284. Not sure if its the same as yours? Jinma makes Farm Pro. I run a Fram P6503 for a fuel filter.

Your tractor is a Jinma 204. That 20HP, 4 wheel drive.

Take a look at this thread. This guy just went though the same issues.

Your fix will be just like his. The leaking fuel bowl is not good but not what the issue is more than likely. You have a clogged internal screen or collapsed fuel hose.

Like I said, this is a easy fix more than likely. Just follow what I have told you and you will find the problem.

The cracked sediment bowl may have permitted air to replace fuel in the fuel filter. This is especially true if the in-tank screen is fully blocked. What's filling the fuel bowl may have drained backwards from the fuel filter. When you remove the sediment bowl from the tank, that little screen comes with it. Unfortunately, that means draining the tank first. Regardless of what else you find, the bowl needs to be replaced (I have a spare here if you can't find one locally).

Thanks for all the help it will be a few days before i can get it all done.
I will also let all of you know what i find.

Ok i have the new fuel Filter on and everything is back together. I have checked all lines filters all of it looks to be in good shape.
It runs fine for a while get hot and stops.
Still acts like it is a fuel problem, but i am not a mechanic.
Will getting it to hot make it act like it runs out of fuel?
