John Deere 3010 fuel problems

BruceLee · Feb 6, 2011

I"ve got a 3010 started this morning noticed it was running just a tad rough. Ran it for a few minutes then shut it down. When tring to restart it started fell to an idle then died. Already bled filter to pump. When cracking the injectors seems only the #2 cyliner has any pressure. Looked @ the fuel shutoff it is turning correctly what could the problem be any help would be greatly appreciated

There's a little plate on the side of the injector pump,about an inch by a half inch,has two screws holding it. Take that off and see if there's any ground up bits of rubber in there. If there is,the injector pump is shot.

Check the return line where it goes into the pump. There is a check valve there, it is in that fitting screwed into the pump. I have knocked this check valve out. It will run for a while longer, but I agree you probably need pump work. When you get it repaired. Try to not to let it run out of fuel. and be sure it is primed before you try to start it. No ether! Change fuel filter every time you change oil.
