kubota dl2250 fuel problem

Problem started about 2 weeks ago. I thought I ran the tractor empty and just refilled with diesel and kept going.

Then it stalled again last week, exact same way, but this time it was 3/4 full.

Changed fuel filter (was ugly) and cleaned housing.

It seems that its not getting enough fuel (runs for a few minutes then dies). I can see the fuel level falling through the clear filter housing. It refills very slowly.

How quickly should fuel come out of the petcock? I'm only getting a slight trickle (when the filter and housing are removed and petcock is set to "on."

Any suggestions?

I've tried bleeding the system according to the owner's manual. It says to open the bleeder valve and run the tractor for a minute, shut off tractor, then shut the valve. Problem I'm having is that the fuel level drops so quickly with the bleeder open that it won't run for the full minute. I can see it drop 1/8" every second with the bleeder open.

Thanks
Steven
