Washed Won't Start

[dsudfeld]

I washed my kubota bx2360. After washing, I started it and drove it to the shed. Tried to start it later that day, and it just clicks, but won't turn over. Its been a week and nothing. Checked connections. Checked fuses. Bled fuel lines. Any ideas?

Mud coating was keeping a ground connection firm against metal somewhere?

What connections did you check?

Have you tried to jump the starter with a screw driver?

Try the old... tap the starter with a hammer?

What is the Battery Charge level?

Check battery voltage . Clean battery connections . You may have gotten something wet that is shorting out and drawing the battery down . Or the key switch may be soaked .

good point on key switch or even starter connections especially if they are loose. This is what WD40 is actually good for.... displacing water (the WD in WD40). Spray the starter switch and starter connections. Check starter connections and see if there is a fusible link in the stater wire. That too could have not liked the soaking and may need a WD40 treatment as well.

Oh and how did you bleed fuel lines? Some lines do not bleed well with out a running tractor and trying to do so may cause another issue once you get the starter spinning again.
