Mahindra 2540 Fuel issue

[RM46]

Guys,

I have a 2016 2540 that has been a good running tractor so far until this past week. I will be driving, tilling, or brush hogging and the tractor will lose power and idle down and shut off or just shut off. It was very random at first and that tractor would run for hours after but has gotten worse. I have blown out the fuel lines, change the fuel filters, checked the screen at the pump and cleaned the tank so far and no luck. I can make about one pass around my 2 acre field and it shuts down. The primer will not have pressure when it shuts down. I am at the point of looking into replacing the primer housing or the fuel shut off solenoid but don’t want to keep spending money. Anyone have any other ideas?

I took it to the dealer and they scanned it but nothing came back.

thanks

Had the same issue last yr , I had got bad diesel at a station , Tractor ran fine for an hr or so and then just died, Ended up draining the tank and both filters , put new fuel in and it ran just fine,

RM 46,
I’m currently having the same issue. What did you find to be the solution?

What was the final solution? I’m finding that the primer button is sucked down when it stops. I’m not sure if that means it’s starting for fuel or if it is electrical from the solenoid?
