Hello:
I have an Allis Chalmers 840 Endloader that is giving me problems. I had it running like usual and it stalled, and would not start. The last time that happened was 12 years ago, I replaced my inline fuel filter and it was fine. I replaced the inline this time and got it going but it stalled after a few minutes. I bled the system and got it going again for a few minutes, but then it stalled. I did that again and it stalled again. It has been sitting for around 10 days, and lately we have had some warmer weather. I just went out there to see it it would go and it wouldn't. It runs for a second or two, I suppose long enough to use up the ether. I bet if I went through the bleeding process it would run for a few minutes again and stall.
Does this sound like a filter problem? When I get it running it seems like I can keep it going if I have my foot on the gas, but it stalls at idle.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
