Bleeding JCB 2CX!

[asicomputer]

I know it's not really classic! My dad has a JCB 2CX which has seen it's first service in years! It seems a silly question but how in the name of heck do I bleed it, it's all ready to go apart from that.

Was gonna say rotary or inline injection pump. 2cx? what engine does it have and a rough idea of it's age will help enormously

[asicomputer]

It's a perkins 4 cylinder 3.99 litres from 2003.

We have a some 2cx airmasters 2 2004s and a 2008 I will ask our mechanics at work tomorrow if no one gets back to you first

[asicomputer]

Ours is also an airmaster! Thanks for asking.

If You have just changed the fuel filter bleed it through the cold start pipe at the cold start if it has run out of fuel bleed it at the top of the filter and at the pump then slacken the injector pipes off turn the engine over till you get fuel out then it should start.

We changed the filters, where abouts is the cold start pipe?

I went out this morning with a camera and here are some photos, hope these will help someone to know!

Judging by the state of the sediment bowl,i would establish that fuel is actually getting through from the tank.

The sediment bowl is now clean, it had got filthy though... The machine was working on a daily basis until I changed the filters, now we can't get any fuel to anywhere blooming thing. Starting from the tank where abouts does the fuel actually go and in what order, the sheer number of pipes makes it near impossible to trace things!
