Kubota M8200 no start

[LTiemeyer]

I have a M8200 Kabota tractor. We put a new clutch in it and put it back together. Now we cannot get the tractor started. Oh, this tractor has always been hard to get restarted after changing fuel filter. Thanks, Lynn

If the engine won't turn over at all you may have neglected a safety switch. If it turns over and won't start you may have glow plug issues. In any case clean battery terminals and connectors. Reinstall connectors tightly. Clean and tighten frame ground.

OK thanks. I’ve already done most of those except for the glow plugs. The engine just rolls over fine. It’s just like it’s not getting fuel. I have pumped and pumped and bled the lines. Can’t get any fuel to the injectors.

Where are you bleeding the injector lines. At the pump or at the injectors?

Disconnect the wiring at each glow plug and measure each glow plug' s terminal resistance to ground.

Is the key switch original or has it been replaced? Check that power is reaching glow plugs when key switch is in START position too.

Please review this WSM bleeding procedure and make certain you are not skipping any steps.

While doing the hand pumping, have someone hold a shop vac in the blow position against the fuel filler open neck. This to assist forcing fuel through the system thus eliminating any air. This requires a bit of judgement as you do not want to pressurize the fuel tank so much you cause if to split.
