Priming a bx1500

[jchammonds]

Does anyone know how to prime a bx1500? I hadnt used it since last spring because of the severe drought and just replaced the battery but it wont get any fuel for it to crank, (i am assuming since it has been sitting for so long).

Can you hear the fuel pump running? If I remember right these are self priming. I do not remember priming mine when I changed the fuel filters last year. I would check and see if the fuel shut off solenoid was in the right position. When you shut down the tractor the solenoid operates the fuel shut off lever on the injector and then it returns to the run position after several seconds(I can hear mine operate when it does). :thumbsup:
