Before I pull my hair out can you help with a fuel problem on my 1957 FE 35.
Problem;
Tractor will start and on full throttle run at 2,200rpm, over a period of 5 min. it will slowly drop to stopping.
Tried so far;
Taken fuel tap from tank, cleaned, fuel runs from tank, refit tap fuel runs through tap, changed fuel filter, replaced fuel lift pump,
checked all fuel lines for blockages, non-found.

Standard checks;
Bleed fuel system, started tractor, released fuel from each injector; engine dies and picks up again when union is tightened up again.
as the engine is dieing I tried working the fuel lift pump manually and the engine picks back up, this to me looks like fuel starvation, but from were?
refitted old fuel lift pump no difference

Your help would be most appreciated, have a rally booked in for next weekend, so got to get it going again by then.

Thanks in advance
Bob

Silly I know, but have you tried it without the cap on the fuel tank? You seem to have covered everything, but it could be something as daft as that.

Has the lift pump worn a groove in the cam?

Have had many promblems with my fuel pump on my 23C as well am going to be putting a electrical fuel pump on it. I believe as John as wrote that my cam shaft is worn wear the fuel pump rides. I would try a new pump.
