Turned out the fuel plunger that the fuel soloniod controls was stuck and that stopped the fuel of course. I put it back together, and I am now getting fuel to the injectors, but number one fuel pipe is stripped and I cannot tighten it enough to stop it from leaking, and therefore, it bubbles and sucks in air. I do get a bit of black smoke, when I roll it, but I never get any indication it wants to start. I shot some silicone spray into the air tube and it does not do anything different, so it gives a lean towards electrical, but I would love to get that nozzle out and stop this air ingestion so I can move to another stage of investigation. I have never taken the valve cover off. I guess I should peek at it just to remove that unknown. I hope there are no internal damages, this engine does not even have 1200 hours on it. Granted I do not have the history on it that I wish I did, so in reality, the 1200 hours does not tell the entire story of this equipment. Thanks for the reply Ken</p></blockquote><p></p>
