tractor wont start

[tyler1985]

I have a 88 white field boss 31 with a iseki engine it will turn over but wont start it is getting fuel the battery is good and the starter is good checked the fuses in dash and they are good glow plug light says it is heating up any help would be great thanks

Try cycling the glow plugs for 30 sec to a min.

Have you test each glow plug to see if they are "good", how about using volt meter at glow plugs, got voltage... If bulb is just a incandescent lamp it may be coming on, but the glow plugs them selves may not be heating... My MF GC 1715 glowplug lamp comes on with key in GP position, but it only tells me key is in GP position and there is possibly 12 volts going out to GP's.... Is not a indicator of current flow through GP's to cause them to heat... Many systems, many ways, to initiate glow plugs, only a glow coil indicator mounted in series with glow plugs will actually indicate you have a good "current" path through GP's....

U say "it is getting fuel".. Getting fuel to the inj. pump INLET.??
Loosen the lines AT THE INJECTORS.. NOT the pump.. & SEE if your getting fuel TO THE injectors..
IF NOT, Does it have an electric shut off solenoid.??
does it sh-off w/ the key or do u have to move a cable or lever.??
Check to see if u have 12v AT THE SOLENOID.. Can u HEAR IT clicking on & off.??
Sometimes its easiest to remove the solenoid to eliminate an electrical problem..
Did U take the air cleaner OFF.. if not, DO SO..
Let us know how u make out..

There is fuel going to injectors Selinoid is good took the breather off still nothing havnt checked glow plugs but your turn the key back for a few seconds and the light turns read it has a lever you pull to cut it off and it seems like it痴 working correctly I am stumped

If you can try to tow start it.
If it's getting air and fuel close to the right time it should go that way.

You said you took the "breather " off. Did you check the air filter to make sure it isn't clogged. Gotta' have fuel AND air to run.

yes sir it was clear

IF u don't have a volt meter or test lite.. u hafta find out IF the gp's are working..
It looks like u hafta take'm out.. & hook the top to 12v+ & the body to -.. use a batter w/ alligator clips or a battery charger.
DO NOT HOLD THE TIP..
Once u find out weather they're good or bad, u have to make sure they're getting power..
Either go buy a test lite or vmeter.. OR.. run a hot 12v + to the gp rail that feeds all the gp's & hold it there or tie it off..
wait the approp. amount of time & try to start the engine..
