[QUOTE="Jrock, post: 71183, member: 10178"] This afternoon, it started looking like the starter was bad. I took it off, bench tested, and confirmed that the solenoid coil reads open. I couldn't get the motor to spin (definitely jumped correctly from the large screw to the small screw market with an S. Then, just to be sure, I tried jumping over to the other small screw, still nothing. Totally dead.) So I'm ordering a starter and/or solenoid. However, I really feel like this may be an unfortunate byproduct of the main problem so I also went ahead and removed the fly wheel cover and tried to turn the flywheel. Wouldn't move. I've never tried to turn a Kubota diesel engine before but I have to believe I should have been able to move it with a 24" long bar..? Now I'm worried that I may have water in the engine. If I have can get a new starter in hand and put it on this weekend, would water have time to damage the cylinders or cylinder walls in just a few days? (I know I'm jumping to a possible unnecessary conclusion but I don't want to risk causing more damage.) The reason I wonder if the starter is a byproduct is because I kept trying to start so many times and I really believe it clicked at first and it didn't click yesterday. Thanks again for all the help! [/QUOTE]
