Thanks for the ideas,
Fuel system bleeds normally all the way through both filters, pump and the injectors. I can"t say there"s no air in there, but fuel does squirt out the loosened injector lines when I bump the starter.
No smoke while cranking.
Air system not visibly blocked, but will get some ether and try that.
Cold start aid is another nightmare. Tractor always started by turning key past heat to hot start, never worked by turning to start. Never worried about it cause it alweays started. Pulled the ign switch out, put the meter on each post and found which is for start and which is heat. Moved tyhe wire that was on heat to start post and now cranks when ket turned to start. Found another disconnected wire under dash that I think would be for the heat start, but I lose it in a bundle of electric taped wire bundle. There is no wire at the cold start aid on the manifold, just a fuel line. I think my "extra" wire is actually going to the starter solenoid! I thought the solenoid should just have the positive battery cable going to the fat post. What else would this 10g wire be on the fat post. Both small posts are wired correctly.
Thanks again for your time,
Matt
