Please help me with my ZD326. My home was flooded by Hurricane Issac and my Kubota L3800 tractor and ZD326 lawn mower. I was able to get the L3800 running, but not the ZD326. I put on a new starter and was able to get 12Volts to the starter, fuel pump and fuel injector solenoid. All of them actually work with the ignition switch. The fuel pump gets fuel to the injector tops through the connecting manifold. I can not get the injector pump to send fuel through the three tubes from the top of the injector pump to the top of the injectors. Engine spins fine with compression and vacuum at the intake. If anyone can help, it will be much appriciated as the grass is growing fast. Thanks.

First off sorry to hear about you getting flooded out.
Have you taken the line loose where it hooks to the injector pump to make sure it's not plugged up?

If you've got fuel at the pump fittings tighten the nuts on the pump and loosen\remove the injector nuts, open the throttle completely and crank. If you don't have a compression release remove the glow plugs for easier cranking. If that doesn't do it remove the lines from the pump and see if you're getting fuel jumping out of the fittings. You oughta get 3-4inch geysers out of them.
