Is it the 3500 or the 2900 engine. If its the 3500 the pump needs to be rebuilt. same thing happened to the motor in our 7060 AC. I bet if you pour cold water on it or put ice on it it will start hot. Something to do with a valve inside. HTH

I had the same thing happen on a tractor. It was the coil on the fuel shut off solenoid. What it was a wire had broke inside but it made contact when it was cold but it would not contact when it was hot due to expanding. What it did was pull the shut off on but it had another coil that held it on and that is why it would still run but not start. You might be lucky and have something as simple as that. My shutoff was external and not in the pump.

My combine starts just fine when the motor is cold but if i have to start it when in the motor is hot it will not start... Its not getting any fuel to the injectors when turning over.. Do yall think I need to have my pump rebuilt or is there something else wrong here... the combine is an L2

On my 76 F with the 301 diesel, it was the fuel shutoff solenoid in the Roosa- Master pump. Removed the rectangular cap with the wire attached and replaced the solenoid. Didn't have to remove the pump. Don't know if L2 is same type of pump or not.

Dumping cold water on Roosa Master can seize it up so be carefull hear. I'd suggest waiting a good 1/2 hour before cranking if washing or chilling down a hot pump. Pump shell is aluminum and will shrink down tight onto internal steal parts. I'd suggest removing and replaceing wire to solinoid to see if you hear same click within pump as you hear when cold and be sure you check with test light to see you have currant there when cranking (that should be good if it starts cold). I'm thinking the pump will need to come off and have some parts replaced that make it more less trouble with the fuel we get these days. Might try a good fuel additive with lube in it before pulling pump and get used to adding some every fill with the Roosa Master equiped machine. Good Luck.

well i took my pump in to get fixed, they said it was gonna cost $1425 to fix this seemed like highway robbery but my wheat is almost ripe and need it back going... So yep i think i got screwed again...Thanks for the replies everbody

For a roosa master? dam last time we had one done here it was about half that and this guy charges alot here, ought to be able to buy a brand new one for that I would expect that for a bosch

fuzzrae, I know nothing about injection pumps. However over the years i've had a few 'gone through'. I found all levels of price and luckily i've been able to find a small shop each time that did the work for about a third of that. I'm sure that if a lot of the 'hard' parts are worn the price would jump up. I never got a list of parts so I believe it was mostly clean and reseal.
Surely there is a smaller shop in your area that could beat that price or possibly a salvage yard?
Good luck, Dwight E. Lambert, Albany, Oregon
