Hi My D1105 is on a mower so not needed, that said its not running. Pump re-conned and injectors are new. I am getting fuel to the injectors but not even trying to start. I was guessing a compression issue but was going to get an engineer to look when excavator is serviced. The symptoms were...

Good Morning Gentlemen Well I got fuel to the injectors, new lift pump working well. Charged battery and went for a start - no go! I tried a few squirts of Easy Start and tried again, did not even try to start. I don't have a compression tester, can only think that the problem lies with rings...

Hi There is a lug on the sliding fuel shut-off bar that engages with the spring loaded shut-off lever on the outside of the housing. IF the exterior fuel shut-off lever is not held against the spring the lug engages in the wrong place and therefor shuts off fuel. Can not see this spring loaded...

I have got fuel to the injectors - at last! Solenoid is removed but engine shows no sign of starting. Next check is the lift pump, new one in the post!

I have removed the solenoid and cranked the engine on the starter, it does not pump fuel, as you say suggesting a mechanical issue

Its a Ransomes out front lawn mower, so constructed in USA. What I find puzzling is that the solenoid does not react when a current is added, the existing and new behave the same. I could get a seriel number off the engine?

I checked the solenoid voltage. I get 12v when the ignition is ON. when the ignition is off voltage is zero. The fuel pump does push fuel when the engine is cranked, I have ordered a replacement just in case. Could there be a relay in the solenoid circuit? Switching ignition on and off does...

Yes. fuel flows to the pump but will not flow beyond

I will try what you have suggested tomorrow and report back. I sent the pump away to be checked and injectors to be rebuilt. Engine was running very rough then would not start.

I can not get fuel to squirt out of the top of the pump, thereby bypassing the fuel lines to the injectors

Both new and old solenoids behave in the same way. as far as I can tell the solenoid engages with the end of the rack on the pump - pushing the rack would close off any fuel delivery. Will try solenoid for longer to see if it has a timer circuit, which begs the question - could a relay be down?

Getting a consistent 12v at the end of the leads

My pump is a little different, I will get a similar photo and post it.
