Have you checked the return line. Could be plugged and that will definetly cause problems. Can't say beyond that.

Also, check the vanes on the lift pump, made of carbon, as they age, they wear. You can bypass with a electric fuel pump of around 40 psi, to the fuel inlet of the injector pump, to diagnose.

the fuel cell or energy cell,is where the fuel gets burned. also know as the pre-combustion chamber. the injector sprays the fuel into the chamber. you may have clean your fuel cells.
they can become full of carbon from a poor injetor spray .
You may have a problem with your fuel lift pump that is built in on the injector pump there is a fine screen filter at the inlet line that may be dirty.

While rare, carbon fouling such as this can happen, in a tractor, my concern would be why? Make sure you don't have an obstructed air cleaner, or something sucked up inside the intake pipe, restricting flow.
