Hi all,
Been reading a bunch of threads, watching video and general searching. Little confused why I cannot get my M1010 to start. Here is what happened. Last weekend I was driving fine, about 40mph. All of a sudden I feel it loosing power so I get over to the side of the road as I was slowing down. Engine was still running but no response to the throttle. As it slow to a stop the engine quit. Tried a couple times to restart and no go. Popped the hood and disconnected/reconnected the fuel solenoid wire. Tried again and it struggled to fire off but finally did. Seemed okay and would rev with the throttle. Put it in gear to take off and it rev'ed slightly and then died. Would not restart. Had it towed home.
Glow plugs and solenoid replace 500 miles again and appear to be working with card or by manually triggering solenoid. Thinking possible fuel filter, replaced with new and was able to bleed fuel so it makes me think lift pump is working. I did find I had no power to the injector solenoid and found a fuse bad. Replaced it and get 12+ volts there. I can also manually trigger the injector solenoid and I can hear a good click. I cracked all of the injector lines and cranked with full throttle and I am getting fuel out of each line.
It cranks well (showing about 300rpm on my tach) and after about 5-6 attempts, I will charge the batteries just to make sure I have good cranking power. At this point it doesn't even try to start. Just spins. I don't want to just start throwing parts at it hoping something works.
My bad feeling is injector pump and the reason I say this is. My last M1010 had way more power than this one, even on 35" tall tires (this one is on 33"). It seems from what I have read, low power but otherwise running fine tends to be injector pump.
Thoughts?
