[QUOTE="rodbuilder, post: 92390, member: 11975"] 1. Tie the injector pump fuel shut-off lever to the "run" position (or right) and try starting it. Or, you can also turn on the key and go to the engine room and see if the solenoid is pulling the lever all the way over to the right. 2. If you do #1 and it runs or if the shut off lever isn't going all the way to the right with the solenoid, then you have a bad shut-off solenoid.......and they're NOT cheap! 3. If it doesn't run leave the lever tied like it is and remove the air filter cover and give it a WHISP of ether. Just a tiny bit!!! Then try it again. 4. If it fires you have a fuel problem. Like you suggest - maybe a pickup problem in the tank, or it might be as simple as a fuel filter, so try that first. 5. If it fires with ether it's probably a bad fuel shut-off solenoid and you can convert the troublesome $208 piece of junk over to a cable shutoff for as little as $25. NAPA has all the stuff to do it except for a simple bracket you can make out of a small piece of angle iron. Personally I'd foot for the Nylon-lined Morse cable they sell for $53, like the one I just put on a 773. [/QUOTE]
