Hello. I been having some odd issues I thought may just have been a vapour lock.
It's been very hot here the last few weeks. The ODD time when I shut machine off and go to start again it just turns over. If I wait and hold the glow plugs on then it starts and runs fine for another 20 or so starts.
This maybe happened 4 times in the last 3 weeks.
Today after just using it without any issues yesterday. I went to start it. Turned over and nothing. Checked the fuel just in case. Filled it up and primed it ( I did install a primer bulb years ago ). Fuel cup is full.
For back in and just turned over. Tried the same trick as I did before with letting it sit a few minutes and holding the glow plugs on. Still nothing.
So went under the hood again. Tried the old wiggle some wires trick lol. Nothing.
Then just made sure the battery was tight and what not. Then got in and now it won't even crank. Has power though as all the lights work and the glow plug light comes on.
Went under the hood again to see if maybe ( obviously ) I wiggled the wrong wire. Everything looks fine.
Any ideas before I dive in?
Also in between heat waves we been getting alot of rain. I know these fuse boxes on these are absolutely garbage as I did have issues years ago with one and had to get a new box Installed. And no issues after
I read can also be the ignition switch. But seems a little abrupt for that.
I read fuses and relays. Havnt checked those as I wanted to get some tool's as it's in the job site right now.
I am a little confused how it went from cranking over to nothing at all. Battery is good.
Thanks for any help.
