Hi Everyone -

The last time I posted was in 2007. Wow, does time fly!!

Yesterday while using my 2005 2305, as usual, since '05, it started and ran perfectly fine. While cutting up firewood in the woods, I turned off the machine. After loading the bucket with wood, I went to turn on the machine and it would just turn over, refusing to start right up, like it usual does (since '05!). I let it sit a few hours and came back and I attempted to start it again. Same issue - it would just turn over, but refused to start. Then I turned the key, after the glow plug clicked, I waited about 15 more seconds and it started right up! I am guessing it was some sort of fuel pump issue or there was perhaps air or dirt in the line and it needed a little extra pump to get the fuel flowing?? Any other thoughts on what may have happened?? The machine has 980 hours on it.

Anyway, I changed out the fuel filter and it runs just fine.

Thanks and it is great to be back!

Is there two fuel filters. My 2025r has a smaller filter under the floor board.

They didn't put those silly fuel filters under the floor back then. My gen. 1 2025R doesn't have one. The 1025R lemon had one.

It's probably a sticking solenoid valve that turns the fuel on.
