update: overheat code was over 250 hours ago, so that has nothing to do with the issue. another dealer came out to look at the machine and found the common rail pump was making 0 psi of pressure (no clue how they could've missed that initially). bringing the machine to that dealer some time this...

I am almost positive that there is no internal damage to the engine. Its fueling related, whether electrical or mechanical is where i am now (i took a high pressure line off the rail, had someone crank the engine and no fuel came out of the rail). Having a different dealer come to my shop to...

Ok i got the machine back today. Fuel is getting directly to the CR pump. I took the fuel metering valve off the pump to inspect for metal shavings, but didn't see any. That being said, the pump could still be bad. The machine doesn't have any error codes on it. Checked the interior fuses, will...

Well, either way i will have them write a statement saying they used ether on the engine.

Yeah its frustrating that they'd do that. However, I did have them do a compression test in front of me and the motor still turned over fine. SO fortunately I think the motor is ok. We will see soon.

Yep, they've done this to me years before too. Thought id give it another shot, only to see the same results as before 👎

Haha, hoping itll be ok. I'm getting it back today and will take a look myself.

Luckily i had them do a compression test in front of me, and when they cranked the engine it still sounded pretty healthy as it cranked. So fortunately i dont think the ether did any damage.

I will take it back to my shop and take a look at all of that. When they plugged the computer in, they said they saw an overheat code (which is why they skipped a lot of diag and went straight for compression test and saying its a bad motor), but according to the guys who were using it when it...

Thanks for responses everyone

The dealer said they tried ether, but said it was just starting to hydrolock instead of fire off. But then they said it fired for a sec then died again.

Hello, just joined the forum. I have an svl75-2 with just over 3,000 hours on it. I was operating the machine, when suddenly it shut off. It would crank but wouldn't start. I took it to the dealer, and they said fuel is getting to the pump, but the engine has low compression. They tested and...
