Hey Guys I’ve got a Case D40 with a Shibaura N844-D-40 four cylinder engine that won’t start.
The problem started when I ran it low on diesel. First it clogged the lines up to the filter/shut off valve. Got that unplugged. Then it still wouldn’t start. So I thought I had clogged injectors. Took them off and dissembled them and cleaned them in an ultrasonic cleaner. I was very careful with the disassembly and not mixing parts from one to another etc.
I have bled the lines and have diesel all the way up to the injectors but I still can’t get it to even try and fire off.
I don’t see a bled screw on my injector pump but I would think if I had fuel at the injectors spitting out it would be good.
I’ve got a new battery and it’s cranking fast enough and I’ve tried opening and closing the throttle while cranking but still nothing. Any advice?
