MF 1020 fuel issues.. I need your Knowledge!!

[JWR]

Update! Got the new starter in and wouldn't you know, it runs like a champ. Thanks everyone for your help.

Huh !? You replaced the starter and the fuel problem went away ?? With benefit of hindsight, can you summarize what was wrong ?

I may be hard to tell at this point. I did have bad fuel, so I drained and replaced filter. Had the injectors cleaned, and also cleaned the injector seats and new crush washers. Also with the starter going bad it wasnt turning over very fast, so maybe the new starter was able to spin faster and get the injector pump pushing fuel. I'm just happy that it works now.

STARTING RPM's are VERY important.. U have to get it spinning fast enough to heat the cylinders so the fuel can ignite..
I tell all my service call costumers>> MAKE SURE the batteries are charged BEFORE I get there..
Nothing worse than standing around while the customer fiddles w/ dead batteries.!!!
I cant count the times I left a jobsite because of dead batteries.. "call me when u get new ones"..
