I just bought a Yanmar ym2000 and was told by the previous owner that it would take about 15 min to get it started and that it was getting air in the fuel. I bled the fuel system, hooked battery up to jumper cables and cranked on it for a while with no luck. Since then I tried multiple times to bleed air out at injectors and I’m not getting any air at all so I believe I have it all out. I figured maybe I had an injector issue so I pulled one out and tested it. It worked fine. I’m getting a good bit of white smoke out of the exhaust so I assume I’m getting fuel to the engine. The engine definitely has good compression and I am using the decompression lever to try and get it started. I’m getting fuel, air and compression and the engine doesn’t even seem like it wants to start. I even tried a bit of ether but it wasn’t doing anything so I didn’t keep using it. The engine is almost acting like It has a bad shut off solenoid but it doesn’t even have one. I’m really confused with this one so any help is appreciated.
