I haven't used the T2310 much at all this year and it has been sitting for months. When I went to start it, I waited for the glow plug light to go out and it cranked normally and started very roughly, sputtering and smoking for a while. A normal start on this tractor is a very quick, clean start. I called the dealer and he said to check the fuel supply. The tank has been full and the filter housing appears to be without water. I checked the voltage at the battery:12.5 volts and at the glow plugs: 10.4 volts.
My question is, is it possible that the fuel itself has gone bad sitting for a year? If not, does the voltage at the glow plugs sound correct? Once started and warmed up, the tractor operates nomally and seems to run very well. Thanks to all who reply!
