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
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.

Sounds like its time for a compression check.
