If you are not getting any loss in power you probably have a bad ground. I ended up running a new ground wire off my sensor and that solved the problem. Pete Hinrichsen

Combines fuel restriction sensor

pete, this is about 90% of the problem we have found. If this doesn't work, pull both screens off you talk about and recheck, then look for rubber hose connecting metal lines. We have found where the fittings are crimped the rubber flakes off and obstructs the line at high flow. Check all fittings, 90 degree elbows are notorious for lodging silicone, rubber and other things you would not thing of, june bugs....how did it get in thereIJ impossible but one did one time on my old l2.

Tbran, that june bug probably crawled up the nozzle on your fuel supply tank, and when you went to fill the combine, it went for the ride. Ask me how I know....Ben.

This is what I went through before I found the problem. I drained and flushed the tank on my N6 twice, replaced the sensor, replaced a couple of hoses that looked bad, replaced the rectangular fuel filter with a spin on water separator, blew the lines forward and backwards and replaced the fuel pump. Now, allot of what I did probably needed to be done given the age of my machine. Not long after I found the bad ground wire the light came on again and I ignored the light thinking that I had not found the problem and about 10 min later the motor quit..... the outlet of the tank had plugged off. I had just filled the machine with fuel from a tank I had not used since spring and I did not check the nozzle before filling. Blew out the bottom with air and I have not had any problems since and I will now believe the light if and when it comes on from now on.

One easy thing to check is the vent hole in the fuel tank filler cap. No air into the tank = no fuel out of the tank which can show up as a restricted fuel line.

we have had customers run and leave mig weld wire from the tank bottom hose up into the tank a few inches to prevent something laying over the outlet as well.

When I drained the tank the second time I installed a tee on the tank outlet and ran a 1_4" hydraulic hose to a 1_4" ball valve with an air fitting so I could hook up a air hose and blow out the lines without getting diesel all over me and my machine. My motto is "It's not done right unless it's done at least twice!"
