My 801 with 172 diesel started loosing power and backfiring while mowing with a bush hog. I replaced the fuel and air filters. It would not start acted like a timing problem. I knew the injectors needed rebuilt because of black smoke for the past several months. I had the injector pump and injectors rebuilt. Now it will not start. It will run on starting fluid (which is not good) but still will not fire on diesel fuel. It seems to me to be a timing problem. I've checked the crank and cam timing marks with #1 on TDC all looks good. I keep going back to why did it crap out wile mowing?
I'm at a loss and will welcome any advice on this problem.
