Can anyone shed some light on why my 2615 won't start? I have a new battery, new fuel filter, have bled both rear outlets as well as the front input area and all it does is continue to crank. Heavy smell of diesel. Sometimes it acts like it wants to start but then reverts to just turning over. All filters are new, air, oil, fuel. Help!!!

What year is your 2615? Does your glow plug light come on when you turn the key? If so, have you checked the glow plug voltage with a meter to see if you have 12V for the duration the light is on? If you have voltage then you need to check the glow plugs resistance of each plug individually. To do this you need to disconnect the power wire from the first glow plug then remove the buss bar that connects the 3 plugs together. Then you need to use an ohm meter to check each plug from the top post to engine ground. You should get a resistance reading. If if reads 0 the plug is shorted and bad, if the reading doesn't change at all the plug circuit is open or bad.

I had a 2004 2615HST and replaced my glow plugs 3 times in ten years. The last time I also replaced the glow plug timer. Mine was a 2004 which had the short timer (light stayed lit only about 5-6 seconds). The last time I changed the plugs I upgraded the timer. The new one the light stays lit about 10-12 seconds. I assume you bled the fuel filter correctly .

I agree with George2615. I had the exact problem on my 2615.

George, my 2615 is 2006 and I have the long timer (10-12 seconds) and I think I bled the fuel filter correctly, first screw, second screw, and finally the hose at the engine connection. No air. I ordered plugs as I haven't replaced them since I bought it. I'll let you know if this works.

Thanks to both you and AchingBack.
