MF35 Perkins 3 cylinder will not start

Post by Smp100 »

Hi, Looking for advice…injectors working fine and fuel entering cylinders and although the engine turns over and smoke emitted from exhaust it fails to fire into life. Tried a squirt of Easy Start but had no effect. Any clues? Thank you

Hi, just joined the forum, surprised you did not get any reply's, have you checked the engine stop rod is disengaging on the FIP?

I was going to ask a question here but it looks dormant?

Hi, thank you for the response. Yes had the top off and checked all the mechanism so I’ve ruled that possibility out. I have been advised to check the fuel filter on the injector pump. Will check in the coming weeks.
