I was tilling with my gray market L2201 DT diesel this morning and the engine just slowed and then quit. The first thing I did was try to start it again. I would sound like it was starting and then immediately fade and quit.
Figuring it was that it wasn't getting fuel and knowing that the fuel filter had not been replaced in 4-5 years, I changed the fuel filter. Then I attempted to blead the fuel line at the injectors. After I freed the injectors and cranked the engine nothing came out of the injector lines. (At first I had thought one line was bleeding, but it seemed more that the fuel was backing up out of where the injector inserts.) The next thing I did was try to start the tractor. Turned over but will not start.
Any ideas about what might have been the original problem when it voluntarily stopped?
Could it be something not related to fuel but to the elecrical system?
Hoping for help. We need to plant potatoes this weekend and the dealer won't be open until Tuesday.
Thanks in advance. Fred
