White 2-70 fuel problem

[Dgunter]

I'm having a fuel problem with a White 2-70 diesel. If you pull it hard it will slow down and die. Then after about 30 seconds it will restart. It only does it when running at high engine rpm. I replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the fuel bowl screen. Thanks for any help

Is your fuel shut off working properly? Once in a while our Massey 285 will start running really weak, and then when I look down the fuel shut off is pulled out a little bit. Don't know how or why, but every now & then it gets me and this fall I drove it home ot change the fuel filters quick, but then Dad reminded me of the issue.

You got full flow from the tank?

My Ford diesel pickup was doing that. The governor ring in the injector pump was bad.

I unhooked the line from the tank fuel ran out ok. RAN through the filter ok and to the pump. I haven't checked the shutoff cable, this one pushes in. I'll look at that. If that's ok I guess it's the pump. Thanks for the help

I know this sounds off base but check your fuel cap. I had a JD doing the same thing and the vent on the cap was stopped up. I replaced the cap and it has run fine for several years.

Those Roosa pumps also need a good return flow or the
engine will stop. Try it with the return going into an open
container. Seems counter intuitive, but it will stop.
