- John deere 318 - craftsman LT1000
Hello all. This is my dilemma. Never have wrote a forum because ive found what i needed before but here we go!
So i have a john deere 318 with a yanmar 3 cylinder swapped in by someone else. They shorted a fuel pump to it and airlocked it while doing so (i think). Here is where i am.
Changed out fuel for new diesel. Now smokes black when turning it over, used to be white, i have cranked it for a bit and have struggled trying to prime the injection pump. I turn the fuel pump on and i have enough pressure out of delivery valves 1 and 3 to hit me in my face with diesel.
2 pisses weakly. I dont want to touch it anymore because i feel like all im doing it running in circles with my head cut off. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
