MEP-805B won't start even with ether

[Billy2642]

Have a 2002 805B that won't start even when I spray ether. I just bought this machine and I've never seen it run. Has 550 hours on it. I've replaced the fuel filter, manual primed it, ensured fuel was getting to the injection pump and still nothing. Doesn't even cough like it wants to start. I've gone thru the -24 and have come to a dead end. Any ideas?

Have you done a compression test?

Never done that before on a diesel so the short answer is no lol

Fuel solenoid maybe. It should still sputter with ether but its not recommended.

I'm starting to suspect either the electric actuator or injection pump. I question that I'm getting fuel to the injectors
