YM1500 wont start air escaping near fuel pump?

My last post too much info

Hello Folks,
I apologize for the long last post about pull starting my YM1500 last weekend. u urge you to read the post and see that before I pull started the tractor, I hooked jumper cables up twice before I pull started the tractor. I also mentioned pulling the muffler and was unable to start the tractor until I pull started it Also I talk about topping it off with fuel before bleeding and more bleeding of the bleed points to no avail. After pull starting the tractor, I didn't mention if I had put the muffler or manifold back on after inspecting the cylinders and valves for cracks or standing water, but I had adjusted the valves and I left everything pulled off the tractor, including removing the hood so I could easily watch the two cylinders as I was being pulled along and after I got it to start so I could watch for any irregularities in the pistons stroke that may be causing the engine to lose pressure. I did mention that after the tractor had idled for a few minutes that there was no more smoke or discharge from the exhaust. I was vague in giving my sequence of dismantling and re-installing the tractor. I can tell you that I put a high pressure water hose to the muffler and flushed until the water came out clean. I saw no pieces or carbon, rodents or rodents nesting material come out from the muffler lol. I did let it dry out fairly well before putting it back on the tractor.

I apologize for replying with so much mumbo jumbo that some pertinent information got lost in the shuffle. I overdid it with too much information as I thought that your original diagnosis of not enough pressure was proven to be correct from the results I was seeing
I'll try to stick to just the facts and only the facts in the future.

Thanks for the link Clemson. Domush comes from a hardy bunch of tractor mechanics that used their toolboxes way out in the fields and far from the barn when building an injector puller meant having a pair of pliers, screwdriver, channel locks and a grip like a gorilla

Quote about pulling exhaust: "I pulled the exhaust off and there weren't any cracks visible. No standing water. "

So when pull starting it you had the valve cover off? so you could see the piston strokes??

I would like to see any tractor run with the valve cover removed. I did mention adjusting the valves and the oring type gasket were in good shape. I pull started the tractor without the muffler installed to look for the individual pistons exhaust differences between cylinders to no avail.
I need to be more concise in my descriptions and use a PC as opposed to a cell phone to type my posts. Its hard to see what your typing or go back to edit your posts before submitting.

Again, my apologies for posting confusing or poorly worded posts.
I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions.
I'm going to try to adapt an old timing set pulley remover tool to pull an injector to get a pressure monitor in place as suggested. I found a metric adapter set that may work.

I've just had bad luck with 1500's. My 226 starts right up but is developing a problem with losing power once it gets hot. I may eventually post about it, but use my PC and have a service manual handy and oil and fuel free hands when I do post.

Cheers,
Torx
