L39 TLB won't start

[blackpowder]

2006 L-39 999 hrs. Won't fire up. Turns over fine just won't catch fire. Any ideas. Fuel good, filter clean, ran OK 4 weeks ago.

Did you check for nest in air cleaner?

Did you crack the fuel lines at each injector to make sure there is fuel there?

Fuel supply is OK. I can't hear the solenoid when I turn the key.

Does the glow plug light come on?

Have you checked for blown fuses?

There is an engine stop (fuel cut off) solenoid and relay that controls the solenoid. The solenoid is on the front of the injector pump. You could check that you have power on the solenoid when the ignition is on.

It was the seat switch. I removed it and broke it into ten thousand pieces. Spliced the leads and fired her up. All good.

I bet that made you happy, gotta love simple fixes

So the seat switch only controls the solenoid and not the starter circuit? Seems like strange logic, what's the point of allowing you to drain the battery trying to start an engine with no fuel delivery?
