My Cub Cadet recently was used to mow grass for 2 hours, shut it off for lunch, then it won't start. Have fuel pressure to the injector pump bleed screw, cranks but won't start. I drained all the fuel, purchased new fuel and bled the system.<br>
<br>
I have resistance across each of the 3 glow plugs.<br>
During cranking, I have about 10v at each of the glow plugs, as well as at the battery terminals, even with a 50A charger attached. <br>
<br>
I read on this forum from someone who mentioned removing the inspection cover from the side of the injector pump, I did that and witnessed the solenoid movement of about 1/16" during cranking of the engine. Is this the proper travel? I don't have fuel at the injector tubes leading into the injector nozzles, but do have fuel at the inlet to the injector pump. The fuel shut off solenoid coils do read the proper resistance, so am assuming that it either is not traveling far enough to open, or the injector pump has failed. On another note, I tried spraying WD-40 into intake during cranking, nothing happened. I gave a couple shots of ether, and it made the engine sound like it was knocking badly while cranking and decided not to do that again.<br>
Other suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!<br>

Suggestions?

I just recieved a reply from the Cub Cadet web site for this same request and they provided PDF copies of both manuals. What great support !!!
