[QUOTE="rcrail, post: 130069, member: 23897"] It’s definitely not getting fuel, I cracked an injector line and nothing. Replaced the low pressure pump, tested it manually before putting it on, it works good by hand. I pulled a vacuum on the fuel line to get fuel to the low pressure pump. Still would not start. Cycled glow plugs, after that it wanted to start but wouldn’t. I gave it a small shot of starting fluid and it fired off and ran fine, and restarted fine. Went out 3 hours later and no start with and without glow plugs. A very short burst of starting fluid and it fired off and ran fine. I find it hard to believe it’s wore out, this machine has 1900 hours on it. But anything is possible. I’m testing and replacing glow plugs today because I don’t want to have to use starting fluid every time I need it and risk some happening. I would think it should start without cycling glow plugs on a 60 degree day but definitely with glow plugs cycled it should start. I’m also checking today to make sure it’s holding fuel prime today. I’ve read each response carefully and taken them into account that these machines are notoriously hard to start without glow plugs. [/QUOTE]
