Hi everyone! New to site. I have been looking at posts for a long time. I have way too many tractors not to!
Here is what I have going on and hope for help. CT225 turns over fine, but will not start.
1. Starting from the beginning, the only things that will keep it from CRANKING would be the switches on both PTOs, the seat switch and the treadle switch being at rest (centered). Is that correct?
2. I have completely drained the fuel, checking in sequence every hose and connection to the injectors. I will go through it...Initially I thought my issue was just starvation because the flow from the tank was slowed to a trickle. The cap is not venting, so for now it is loosened. After connecting the fuel line back to the filter, removed filter and filled half+ of bowl with same fresh fuel. I then got all of the air out of the bowl and even checked the vent fuel line back to tank, all good. Once I knew I had fuel past the filter, I took the fuel line loose from lift pump to be sure flow was good. Put that line back on the lift pump and removed the fuel line going to the IP bolster nut from lift pump. Again, flow is good. All injector lines were removed, checked and replaced, return lines all replaced. All injectors were taken out, visually inspected, and replaced. Fuel was drawn up to each injector and nuts closed. I would think it would crank AND start now, but it will not. I checked the usual stuff prior to going through the system such as electric fuel shut off, fuel rail springs toward the hole of same shut off and can be moved with my finger easily. As stated, I have fuel getting to injectors, not sure if timing is off or pressure needed at injectors. I get a faint amount of white smoke from exhaust when cranking. I checked all three glow plug connections with ohmmeter and have juice. They are untested, but it is 85 degrees here. I am close to my mechanical limits on this issue. What am I missing or not doing?
I should say, I just bought this and do not have history on the tractor. However, it has 600 hours on it and I致e tested every function, loader, three point, etc.. and all work fine.
