The tractor was running fine in Nov '07 when it was parked. Today is the 1st I've tried to restart it since then. I found water in the primary and secondary fuel filters. I've since replaces both filters, drained and refilled the fuel tank and followed the 'Operator's Manual' for bleeding the fuel system. This unit has the In-Line Type injection pump. Checked the timing, as per manual, and it seems fine .... The thing I like to know is: What's the fuel pressure supposed to be at the injectors? It's not listed in the manual under specs, and to me it seems to be weak. Now since there was water in the filters, I would imagine that some was definitely in the injector pump. During the course of the winter could the water have froze and damaged the injector pump on the inside? Like maybe some sort of valve in there or something? …. I've had this tractor 15 years and do the same thing every year, park it in Nov and put it back in service around April/May. It's always outside and never had a problem until now. If you think it is the injector pump causing the problem, any recommendations as to where to get one, or have this one rebuilt is appreciated ...... Thanks
