Oil & Fuel 165 Massey Perkins diesel

Broke my 165 Massey Perkins Diesel to replace clutch DYI .Repair was easy but cannot get tractor to start,
replaced filters when apart ,followed sequence to bleed in service manual ,any ideas ?

Double check that everything is hooked up properly and bleed properly. Make sure that you're fuel cut-off is not stuck, or not allowing enough fuel to actually run the tractor. Also, double check your shifters adjustments and make sure you're truly in neutral.

Good luck

Make sure the tank vent (usually a vent hole in the fuel cap) is not clogged.
Make sure the fuel cut off lever is not closed and then make sure you tank valve is open and the tank has fuel coming out of it (the strainer can clog and you won't get any fuel out). Make sure the fuel delivery connections are all tight so they don't suck air.
Then rebleed the system starting at the filter, through the injector pump and the injectors.

I get fuel at the injector pump at the two bleeder screws but little at the injectors ,doesn't
seem to get past the pump.

What filters did you use? If NAPA 3166 or WIX make sure filter top groove at lip is not blocked with an extra o ring, this is filter inlet, CAV filters flow different, will not have this problem. If tractor was apart awhile you may have some internal parts stuck. Should get a good small shot at each injector unless pump needs attention.
