[QUOTE="Miker67, post: 53660, member: 5215"] While your motor may not have a solenoid, there has to be some form of shut down mechanism that shut's the fuel injector pump output off. A lever or something. I have fought with many an old motor only to find out I didn't even have the fuel turned on. Now, if your absolutely sure that your fuel is turned on, I find using a marine style primer bulb helps greatly. You put it in the fuel line before the primary filter. It only costs like four bucks and I install one on every piece of equipment I own and every piece in our fleet. If you change the fuel filter, squeeze the bulb as you tighten the filter and it fills the whole system up so no hard starts. Also is a huge time saver if the guys run stuff out of fuel. Using that method, you can just have someone pump the bulb while someone else cranks and most of the time things start in short order. If you are alone, just crack the lines on the top of the injector pump till fuel flows out then tighten while its pumping (so air doesn't go back in). Growing up I was told horor tales of airlocked motors taking mechanics all day to get running. I have not seen such a thing and I have seen a lot of motors. If you do the steps above and it still won't pump, its something else. [/QUOTE]
