1772 Wont Now Start!
 

I'm hoping some one can offer me advice.

I've recently refurbished my 1772 and in the process changed all the fluids and filters. However, it simply wont start now despite me bleeding the fuel lines at all points so I know there's no air in the system.

Prior to doing the service the Tractor started easily on one battery but it now takes a couple to simply turn-over the engine and then it is sluggish.

I'm at a loss as to the problem so suggestions most welcome please.

Many thanks

You have to bleed the high pressure lines while cranking.


Did you do any rewiring?
Did you disassemble anything on the engine?
How old is the battery?
How long since it last ran?

is that at the injectors?

as I followed the procedure in the manual.

Yes at the injectors

yes, done that, its a mystery

Glow plugs working?
Does it smoke?

You didn't answer any of the other questions...... :bigthink:

its giving off a slight puff of white smoke but obviously not igniting the fuel, unsure about the glow plus, how should I check them?

Can you first tell me a little more about what all you did? It would really help the diagnosis...... as is I'm stabbing in the dark.

I'm sorry, I missed your other questions - der!

Did you do any rewiring? A = No
Did you disassemble anything on the engine? A = No
How old is the battery? A = New, and both fully charged
How long since it last ran? A = A couple of months, with fresh fuel now.
