M813A1 Not Starting

[MX922]

For some reason its not starting. It was 60degrees out today so the cold couldnt have affected it, all the batteries were charged and it jus wouldnt start. it will crank but theres no smoke comming out of the stack like it normally does...Whats going on??? any suggestions would help

Make sure the fuel shut off is not closed at all. Sounds like a fuel issue. Filters clogged ?

The fuel shut off selinoid DIED or wire broke, try turning in the thumb screw, turn to the right, this will open the selinoid without the need for power, you will need to use the emg. shut down to shut down the engine
Or a cracked fuel line causing it to SUCK AIR

I had this problem with my 813, I replaced the fuel line between the fuel filter and the IP, no more problem!

I had a similar issue on my 818. After trouble shooting I ended up removing the fuel selection valve and replacing all of the hoses and using stainless hose clamps to help eliminate any air intrusion. This repair took me over a day but I haven't had any further problems. I also drained and flushed both tanks with solvent to remove any debris, water or sludge.
My fuel solenoid valve also failed as Ron suggested in post #3, after manually opening it with the knurled screw on the injector I primed the pump and it started after a little cranking.

Good luck!
