Yes the fuel tank is full, I recently replaced the fuel filter and I have drained the fuel filter and found no water in it. I removed the plunger in the fuel shutoff solenoid. This went bad on me before with the machine in the middle of the street. FYI, Bobcat charged me approximately $150 for a new solenoid. I thought they must be very proud of that little unit. I never thought about looking for any other alternate source for a cheaper replacement. I have read on this forum about the $9 glow plugs at Autozone vs. $36 by Bobcat and I thought maybe I paid too much for the solenoid. Anyway, that is not the problem. I have not checked the voltage to the glow plugs yet but that will be on the top of the list when I get back out to the machine. I did bleed the injector line and did not get the quantity of fuel you mentioned. I did give it a squirt of ether and it would not start even with ether. That really boggles my mind because if the engine was not getting fuel, I would still expect it to start with the ether. So, if the injector pump is bad, what kind of $$ damage am I looking at? Also, as I mentioned in my first post, the engine started immediately that morning but two hours later, nothing. Would the pump go out that fast with no transition between good start to a weak start to no start? Once again, thanks for the help. Ron</p></blockquote><p></p>
