Case 1150 Dozer will not start

My brother has a older case 1150 dozer with a 401 diesel motor that will not start. It ran great late year. We have changed the fuel the filters. Put new batteries in and bled the lines.
We have black smoke and it tries to start some of the times. But it will not even run on starting fluid. Thanks for any ideas Jeff
 
Check the fuel cut off cable , I t could have slipped and in shutoff mode . Maybe right at the shut off cable the flap in side could be broken or stuck in fuel shut off mode .
 
Like Bill says check the cable,it would be my guess that when it was last stopped it was left in the stop position and now the rack is stuck there,look on the side of the pump you should see a plate held on by two screws,clean around the plate and remove it,put the control in the stop position while you watch the rack,(the square bar with some square blocks attached to it) the rack may not move if already stuck,now put it in the run position with the throttle on full,the rack should have moved across,if not squirt some oil in there and gently prise it across,put it in the stop position and then run and when it's free it will jump across on it's own,put the cover on and try a start,a tip when going to start a diesel that sat for some time do not open the fuel system till after it starts,opening the fuel system allows air in and causes an air lock,as the fuel system is in air tight environment you can run the engine for a minute then service the fuel system.

Had it try to start when the starter was engaged. Let off the starter it died.
