I am having a hard time finding injectors for my B5100E. The ones I am finding either have two inlets, or none. But on my little tractor the injector nearest the throttle has two but nearest the radiator only one. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone. That was it. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to how the old starter was wired ...

I am attaching a picture of how my starter is wired. From what I understand you saying is maybe it's wrong? It's what the other was wired as, and would heat glow plugs and turn over. Thanks for responding

According to the manual, if I take a wire from the post on the ignition switch attached to the starter, and then touch that wire to a ground, it should spark. However it does not. This really has me stumped

Ok, so according to the manual, the smaller red wire from the starter to the ignition should always be hot. it is not. Put my digital meter to check for voltage at the starter bolt for the smaller wire and no current. Current at the bigger one, and when arcing over the two it attempts to start...

When I put a screwdriver across both red wires on starter it does engage. Just can't seem to figure out why no power to glow plugs

I can't get power to heat glow plugs. If I hook plugs directly to battery, they heat fine. No fusible links. Pulled the wiring harness and have continuity through each wire. I have replaced ignition switch, glow plugs indicator, voltage regulator, oil pressure switch and starter. No good. Tried...

From what I've said, do you think it is a low compression issue? When I turn the fan by hand, when I get back to the top it takes a good tug to continue moving everything connected to the belt

When I parked it in the barn last summer, it did seem to start harder than usual

I did manually push it all the way shut on the engine. That should make sure it is fully off, I think.

Yes. A couple of times it nearly started. I have also tried using the decomp knob

My B5100E won't start. It does crank, but drains the battery quickly. It is a new battery. Jumping it with my suburban doesn't help. Glow plugs are hot. I did put a new starter on last summer, as well as a new dynamo. I did notice it starting a bit harder than I remember, but it would...
