Did you pull the emergency shut off ?
If you did it needs to be reset manually on the injector pump.

sounds like a fuel filter issue. I would change the filter or drain the fuel out of the filter and re prime .

After it didnt start we pulled it.to reset the switch you just flip it back right? I traced the shut off cable back to a gold, switch on the fuel system.Then we got a new fuel filter. Now when we prime it, its air no fuel from the hole on the bottom. As long as im priming it right.

keep on priming till the fuel comes out the bottom. It might take a few pumps

Is this a M925A0, M925A1 or M925A2 ?

There's going to be a lot of air to purge out of the fuel filter canister if you didn't fill it all the way up with fuel, so it may take a little primingopcorn:

Why do people keep posting things like this in this section? This belongs in the 5 ton forum.

Im sorry! I thought it would go here and the 5 ton section was just for tms. My mistake/apologies

Ok, now I have gotten it to prime, orings on the primer wereshot. But it stil wont fire. When fuel first started coming out it was dark, looked like it was mixed with oil. Then after a few pumps it came out clean. Still wont fire any more ideas?

Will it run with a squirt of ether? If so it might be air in the fuel line. There are threads in here already taht give step by step instructions on checking for air leaks in the fuel lines. Also could be a air leak in the filter housing. (Top bolt gasket)

 

[2brothersjunkin]

yes, it will fire off ether. some of the fuel lines are cracked a bit gotta wait till monday to get new lines. any other thoughts? i thought it would just run rough with cracked fuel lines, not,not fire at all?
