We're all good now. It was the starter solenoid, not factory. With the new, factory starter solenoid (letting it cool and doubly securing the connectors) and a topped-off battery, she cranks immediately if not sooner. Thanks all for your help.

Those are good questions. The way things played out with this bike, there were too many variables to be sure of anything. That said, I have installed a battery-charging QD, and I'm keeping it completely topped off now. I'm allowing the glow plug light to stop blinking completely. I'll be...

Well, when I first got it, it would crank really fast, now it takes longer. Not sure why.

I have an OEM one on the way, I will update you when it arrives. I'll probably go ahead and upgrade the hot-side wire to a larger diameter too, since it was glowing red last time - though that could have been an issue with the solenoid.

Replicas for sure. I'll reach out to the dealer and see if can source a genuine part. I can concur that the starter and solenoid indeed look original.

Can one of you guys post a picture of your starter solenoid? I'm in my third one. In fact, the last one caught on fire after the second one melted. The ones I'm using appear to just be standard KLR650 relays. If not a picture, a part number or identifier or anything. Thanks so much!

Thanks to you, she's running perfectly. You're the best bro.

Hey, what is the process you used to bleed the line? I forgot to turn the fuel on and ran it long enough to get air in the lines. Thanks! nevermind! You've already answered me. thanks!

Here you go. It is basically the full injector assembly in green It came out of the cyl one (arrow) port.

I'm halfway between Huntsville and Birmingham. Thanks for the reply!

:x I've been noticing that I smelled fuel when I drove her. Today, I noticed it was coming from the "T" on the fuel return of cyl 1. I took the injector nozzle assembly out, and started to disassemble it to clean it (per SOP) and I sheared off the alignment pins. **** me. Anyone know where...

Well crap. I searched for similar threads and didn't see any. My bad.

If there isn't one out there, I'd be happy to start and maintain one in this thread. Thoughts? This is the closest I can find: M44-Series Truck Parts Cross-Reference

Oh!! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was a link. That does answer my question!

Well the pipe starts on the top of the valve covers, but it does run next to the turbo and down almost to the axle.
