M35 will not start

[twright]

I have had this truck for a little over 3 years has always started . All you had to do was turn the switch and hit the start button. I try to start it and the M109 every week and drive them around the house .I started it last week ran great like it always has let it get up to temp. drove it around them shut it down .Went to start it this weekend no start checked the pump in the tank it runs then I checked to see if I had fuel at the bleed screw at the filters had fuel.What should I check next?

Make sure the fuel shut off is all the way in.. it may have stuck out and that is keeping the fuel shut off.... happened before.

Also the fuel shut off can "jump" so it may help to remove the cover and make sure it is in place. Happened to me once.

I had a problem with mine starting it was a broken line the goes to the intake its an 1/8 fuel line wont start with out it so check all the lines on the injectors and the one that runs to the intake my fuel was bleeding off and i found my leak by turning my pump on and laying underneath untill I saw a drip

Tony, it's a curse for not attending the rally. It will be worse next year. Wonder what issues hndrsonj is dealing with?

I had a similar problem. Took the in-tank pump out of the tank and found a lot of gunk had clogged up the screen at the bottom of the tank. I removed the gunk, reinstalled the pump and the truck is starting right away again.

Tony, call if you have questions, I might be able to walk you through it. Still interested in that winch if you don't mind finding a box and shipping it.
