I am lost and hope some diesel experts might have some ideas.
Setup: Working Brutus all day, dragging sections of fallen oak tree back to field near house. (point being, started fine, ran fine, plenty of fuel)
Was dragging large branch, slipped into neutral, started to ease backward some, so I clicked back into forward... (engine speed was at idle), as the reverse to forward load hit with essentially no rpms, engine died. (kind of analogous to killing engine when learning how to use clutch)
Not a problem...I've managed to do this a handful of times in 2 years of ownership.
Turn key, and engine turns over, but will NOT start. No sputtering, no smoke, no passing go, no $200.00.
Outside temperature is probably near 50 degrees, so nothing frozen up in fuel line. New fuel filter this past summer. Loosened one of the lines to injectors while someone else turned key, fuel "seeped" (as opposed to spurted) out. While turning over, looked at rain flapper... it was bopping up and down (was thinking if timing chain broke, no "timed" exhaust).
Thankfully, Brutus died in field across from house... the big oak tree that fell was out on the public road and that is where I had been working...had it died out THERE... no one could have easily gotten by /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif.
Ohh.. to clarify, if I remember correctly, the fuel injectors (is it even POSSIBLE for them to lose their prime with a stall like that??) anyway, the injectors are let's say, 1 1/4 inch diamater wrench, on TOP of them with a 1/4 inch bolt, is the fuel supply line. It is the supply line and not the actual injector I loosened (presuming my differentation is correct) My handy wrench at the scene was not large enough for the injectors per se.
I'm now looking for ideas of what to look at.
Though I don't see how it would matter in literal sense, don't forget Brutus is industrial JCB & not a tractor (please don't banish me from here...I WANTED a tractor... mean wifey forced me to get this instead /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif )
Thanks
