Well,
I parked my M35A2 a couple or maybe three years ago. I wanted to get it started other day. So, I put in a set of batteries and turned on the switch and hit the starter button. Usually after sitting a few months it cranks for about 15 seconds and then starts. This time nothing. No puffs of smoke or nothing. I turned the switch off and raised the hood. Opened the top air bleeds of the fuel filters and turned the switch on. Some air came out and then fuel. Closed those and tried to crank again. Nothing. Cracked the line at the injection head and turned switch on, fuel was there. Cracked injector lines, cranked and no fuel there. Ah, must be the fuel shut off that is stuck. Pulled off side cover and the lever is at 7 o'clock. So, I pulled the bolt in the top of the injection head. The one that covers the plunger. I placed a pencil in the hole and had my son turn on the switch, diesel pumped out. I had him crank the engine, the pencil went up and down. Put the bolt back in and cranked. Still nothing at injectors. Now what? Should I take out the delivery valve screw and see if there is fuel there?
Thanks,
John
