New Holland TC35D
Tractor was running fine, turned it off for 20 min now it wont fire. I charged the battery and the engine cranks fine. I replaced the fuel solenoid with a spare and opened the air bleeder and its pumping fuel while cranking with the ignition switch. I drained the fuel bowl thinking it may have sediment or water. Most all my safety switches are bypassed.Got a ton of work to do with a deadline of Friday so pretty aggrevated. I've owned it for 22 years and pretty well versed with all the issues; I've always been able to eventually get her fixed. I'm baffled. I'm 64 so maybe something is slipping my mind? Inputs please!
PS- I had parked the tractor on the side of a terrace so its slightly tilted to the left maybe 15 degree. It has almost a full tank of gas but is there anything in the fuel system that would attribute to air in the system?

"Pumping fuel while cranking"? Assuming that means pumping out the bleed vent on the injection pump, not to the injectors? Yes/no?

You replaced fuel shut off solenoid, and of course verified that there is battery voltage TO said solenoid while cranking?

Be sure the air cleaner is clean - no air, no fire. Check battery voltage while cranking. If too low it may not spin the engine fast enough. Clean and tighten terminals and ground terminal if voltage is good.

I would REMOVE the solenoid while troubleshooting..
I would REMOVE the air cleaner while troubleshooting..
Loosen the lines AT THE INJECTORS and crank the engine..
Once u get fuel spurting out of the loosened lines.. NO AIR.. tighten up the lines and she should start..
THEN work backwards..
Install the air cleaner.. wait a minute or 2 to see how it acts..
Move onto the shut off solenoid..
Good luck
