617 300SD starts/dies...why?
Here's some back ground--Monday the SD drove fine, no problems. Tuesday the SD started up fine , pulled out of my driveway got 50 feet engine dies, restart, move 15 feet, engine dies. I have to start/restart a couple of times to get back in driveway. Tuesday night I changed both filters thinking maybe something plugged one up, still has the same symtoms. Tonight I hook up a bottle of diesel like I was going to do a purge on it, runs a little then dies, I keep restarting (~4 or 5 times) until it seems like it will only get to an idle and then it dies. So I think I have eliminated clogged filters and a clogged tank screen. Now my questions are - what is going on and what do I need to check next. Thanks.
