I have a b20-bought or a few months ago. Quite the most excellent machine. We've been getting a lot of great use out of it digging trenches moving stones, moving dirt, digging tree holes.
Hadtrouble starting it this morning. Turned glow plug on for quite a while, but did not turn over. Now just getting a clicking noise. Glow plug will not glow anymore. Lights work fine. Had battery checked out at local battery store and voltage and cold cranking amps and tested out fine. Wasn't sure how to see where else in the starter chain, solenoid, starter, wires, Etc. the problem might lie. The glow plug was working fine this morning, but I couldn't turn over the engine. Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks! Rich.

Most likely solenoid or bad connection at any of the wire connections. Connect a volt meter, black/ ground at batt negative and red/positive at large wire on starter. Turn key to start, you should have approxamtly 12 v. If you don't, start back tracking.
