will not start with ether please help
 

engine has been sitting1year.its not getting fuel to but 1 injecter.air filters off, ether straight into intake tube,no popping or even signs of ignition, normally a diesel will at least try to start or ether lock. nothing any suggestions

and your fuel filter has it been changed and what about problems between the fuel tank and lift pump and what kinda shape is the actual fuel in

DO NOT USE ETHER! THE GRID HEATER WILL IGNITE IT! :argh:

The most common thing to cause a crank-but-no-start condition is the fuel shut-off solenoid on top of the rear of the injection pump. It needs 12 volts for the engine to run. You can get some fuel at the injectors even if the solenoid is closed, just not enough to run.

After a year, the plunger in the solenoid might even be varnished in the down position.

What he says about grid heaters igniting ether is true. Disable grid heaters first.

you shouldn't use either, at john deer school they said to use dry silicon spray, said it was easyer on the engine.... just my two cents

What the heck is dry silicon spray?

Ether isn't "good" to use on any engine, but sometimes... You just gotta do... What you gotta do. And that can involve the ether bunny.

wont start with ether
 

plunger is out of slenoid,this engine doest have a grid heater.no smoke engine turns over like you didnt even add ether, but it does seem to be turning a little slow with or without ether,changed starter,cables,fuel pump,i'm stumped

Sounds like its time for a compression check.

wont start with ether
 

wouldnt low compression cause it to spin faster, ipulled the injecters it still spins the same.could the injecter pump be bad causing it to spin slower?:s:

How is the battery?
