New member with question about Mahindra 2815 Fuel problem

[simidonb]

Greetings. I have a Mahindra 2815 that comes up to idle and then loses power when a try to move it or lift the bucket. I have emptied the visible fuel bowl and changed the filter. My manual references three steps to bleed air from the system. First two bleed screws are on the filter housing and then it says to loosen the air vent screw on the injection pump. Problem is I don't know where the injection pump air vent screw is.

Any help. Thanks. Tried to attach picture but it may have been to big.

Welcome to the forum. :welcome:

I'm going to move your thread on over to the Mahindra section to see if we can get you some answers.

are you getting any fuel into the bowl? Did you turn off the fuel when you changed it? You cannot see the screw from that pic

Have you tired to crank it since you changed the filter or your having the issues now that you changed the filter?

I have removed whole assembly and cleaned with compressed air. Reconnected all hoses and performed air removal steps. Minimum fuel enters bowl and no fuel comes out of venting screws. Also no fuel came out of input side of filter, even with the key on.
Tow truck comes in the afternoon if I don't solve it first.

Did you blow out the line that comes from the tank to the filter? sounds like its clogged at the tank.. I had to drain a tank and clean it and the line the other day on a similar model to get it going

Any update?

Thanks to everyone for their input. I used compressed air into the fuel supply to the filter and apparently broke up the obstruction into the tank. Right away fuel started to flow and the tractor is running. Now I just have to clean the tank and all should be good. Thanks again for helping solve my problem and teach me something.
