RTV X1100C Will not start

[Stan777]

Just bought this one 1 month ago 2015 rtv 1100 c I replaced the starter last week and changed the oil.
Today went to crank it and it cranks but no fire?

Should I hear a fuel pump or is there any way to daignose what might be the issue?

To isolate problem to fire or fuel put a few drops of gas or squirt of starting fluid in carburator while cranking.

It is a fuel injected diesel....no carb.

Check your fuel stop solenoid. If it is bad, your injection pump will not send fuel to the injectors.

Yikes Don't even think about getting gasoline or starting fluid near it(could blow head off diesel) do what ruffdog said.

Oh heck I am sure glad @ruffdog is here or I might be dead!

It is fuel injected and a diesel

Thanks so much what exactly tests the solenoid? Is there a fuel solenoid? This is the fuel pump diagram and the stop solenoid.

 

[ruffdog]

The pump is called a lift pump and it is a low pressure pump that gets the fuel from the tank to the high pressure injection pump. The fuel tank is low so depending on gravity would not work...hence the need for the lift pump. Test it by loosening the fitting where the fuel comes from the lift pump and goes into the injection pump. Crank it over and you should get fuel.

The solenoid is bolted to the injection pump and depending if it is activated, allows fuel to be sent to the injectors. Some of them stop working and some get weak and won't hold.

Items to check:

Is there fuel in the tank?
Is there a blockage in the tank outlet?
Is the filter plugged or full of water?
Does the lift pump get the fuel to the injection pump?
Does the fuel stop solenoid operate so fuel gets to injectors?
If not, is power getting to the solenoid?

Note: any opening of the fuel system probably will mandate you to "bleed" the fuel lines and that should be in the manual as it is needed after changing the fuel filter.
