Hello, I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers as to why my JLG 40HA will not start.
I've used it the past 7 days with no problems whatsoever-- killed it yesterday normally at end of day, but would not start today. Cranks normal and turns over normal but will not fire. Originally sounded like it was not getting fuel. I checked fuel at the main fuel filter via the bleeder valve-- fuel is present and pumps normal. Checked fuel at cylinder feeds-- fuel is present there as well at both cylinder feeds.
I don't know much about the engine itself, except that it's a 2 cylinder, diesel, Deutz, air-cooled, 2-wheel drive.
I am beginning to wonder if there is some electrical issue preventing the engine from firing. I've actuated all switches on the platform to see if one was stuck to no avail. Not sure if there is a fail-safe somewhere that can keep the engine from firing?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
