Hello All, thank you for letting my join...

I got a question hopping someone can help me.
I have a John deere 6115d. Its a 2011. About 1575 hours
There seems to be a fuel problem. It will start and run for like a 1min some times 5 mins. Then it just stops running like its out of fuel. Changed all the fuels. Didnt help. New fuel didnt help..
What could be the problem??

Thank you

Take off the fuel cap and see that solves the problem. If so, get a new fuel cap.

What would this do? Why would the cap be bad.

 

[ddinham]

some caps have vents in them and they get clogged up causing a lack of fuel. Talking from experience.

Ok I give it a try. Just never heard that before.. thank you

It will start and run. All day long. It just doesn't stay running.

Sounds typical for clogged fuel filter or low fuel supply. How long since fuel filter was changed? It's possible screen(key 17) is clogged in IP.

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

The filter were changed like 2 weeks ago. But I just pickup news ones again to put on to see if thats it

 

[Tx Jim]

It's possible fuel transfer pump that's mounted oh the side of engine block has failed.

Ok thank you.. im at a lose with it.. got John deere coming out. Tomorrow I think they are coming.

Update with the solution from JD please

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

I will update you all after John deere comes out and fixes it.

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

New filters did not help.

 

[Tx Jim]

Did you check or change the transfer pump?

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

No I did not. Do you mean the lift pump yes I changed it. Still same problem.

 

[Tx Jim]

Lift & transfer are the names given to same pump. Did you check screen in IP I posted a photo of? Also is fuel tank return line open IE not clogged?

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

I did check the screen. It looks good to me.
Not sure on the return line to the tank. But ill look at it today .
The tractor will run when it has fuel. When I changed the filter yesterday again. I filled the filter with fuel and put them on the tractor run. Till the fuel was gone.

 

[Tx Jim]

That scenario sounds typical for restricted fuel supply from tank to IP. I wonder if fuel outlet in tank has a screen?? I think I would remove intake tube & inspect it.

 

[Woodlandhayfield]

Ok ill try it
