Curious if anyone here has had to prime their RK24 due to running out of fuel, I am wondering what steps would be required to accomplish priming.
I guess that I am either not understanding and or missing it in the manual, I have had people tell me that newer tractors should be self priming. Just curious , if anyone knows the facts on this procedure.

If your machine has an electric supply pump, turn the key on.. THEN, loosen the inlet banjo at the injection pump inlet.. look for clear fuel with no bubbles.
Once u get good fuel at the inlet, tighten the bolt..
NEXT, loosen ALL the steel lines from the pump TO THE INJECTORS.. AT THE INJECTORS & crank the engine until fuel squirts out of the loosened lines WITH NO AIR.. & tighten..
It should start now..
Good luck..

So this happened to me, see my post. The manual sucks! But, you shouldn't have to do any priming. With my tractor, it started right up, ran 10. -15 sec's, then died. If that happens, check the fuses! RK 24 out of fuel

There is a thumb pump to prime the filter bowl on the side of the fuel pump. Just pump it until the filter bowl is full and a few more times for good measure.
