Mowing mitsubishi won't start

[flymt]

I replaced a clutch on my mitsubishi mt3201fd diesel engine 4DQ3-1.490L. After replacing the clutch, the fuel filter and the banjo fittings, the tractor ran well as I ran it through the paces. The next time I started it, it ran for a minute then quit. Now it will not start. Engine turns over fine but does not fire as though it is not getting fuel. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would also like to find a shop manual for a tractor with the same engine. Thanks Rod

Not familiar with your tractor but is it possible that there is a fuel shut off that you closed and forgot to turn back on. I've done that, same symptoms, runs the bowl dry then nothing. Start with the simple stuff.

As skylark guy said, it is your fuel delivery to the pump. Find the fuel bowl, and there will probably be two bleeder screws on the top housing. Bleed them from nearest the tank to farthest until no bubbles come out. Follow the fuel line to the pump, and do the same thing.

Some tractors have a manual actuator to re-rime, and you may be able to skip the previous steps. You can probably restart the tractor once that is done, but you may need to loosen the injector fittings until fuel comes out there when cranking, too.
