Case 580 C Just quit

[TWS]

My 580C backhoe just slowed down and quit running yesterday. Fuel is getting through both filters to the injector pump. I'm guessing the pump is bad. Is there a way to check the injector pump without removing it and taking it in?

Check the inlet fitting on the pump to see if there is a screen on it that might be clogged.

Thanks for the reply. I pulled the pump earler this morning. When I removed the fuel inlet fitting, I did notice the screen. However, it seemed to be clean. I blew through the fitting and air came out with no restriction.
I plan to take it to a local injector place and have them check to see if the pump is good - unless you've got a better idea??
Thanks again for the reply.
