Well, I think 2000 hours is very low for having the trouble I'm having. I know of some with almost 5000 hours on them with nothing done to them at all. It was running fine. I pulled it in shed one night then 2 weeks later went out to start it and it wouldn't fire a lick. Compression showed...

I have a very nice B7100 4x4 HST with a D750 engine. About 2100 hours. It has low compression and after replacing head, valves and injectors, I think it needs a complete overhaul. Thinking of doing it myself. I can get an overhaul kit on Ebay for $500, from Canada. Pistons, rings, wrist...

Well, I Adjusted the valves. All seem to be working fine. I still have zero compression on the cylinders. I'm stumped. Basically the problem is that it went from starting and running fine. Parked it for two weeks, then it wouldn't fire a lick. The compression is now zero. Installed new...

Thank you so much. The lifter revelation sheds a whole new light on the situation.

I'm sorry, I was sort of rambling. I assume a B7100 HST has hydraulic lifters. After installing the new head which came with new valves/springs installed, the engine will not start or fire. The cylinders check for 0-50 psi for compression. After cranking it trying to start it, most of the...

Did you ever get this problem fixed? I'm going through the same thing. Mine is a 1996 B7100 HST, no compression release. 2100 hrs. It ran good when I parked it in shed. When I went to start it two weeks later it wouldn't fire a lick. I've put in new glow plugs ( and they get hot)...

You might consider checking compression on the cylinders. If one or more is below 400 it might be a valve burned or not seating, thus allowing fuel and gases to blow back into the intake manifold. It would be a wed soft gummy build up. It happened to me on my B7100
