cant get the m1031 to run

a buddy of mine got two of these for 2k. he made out real well. someone here said to disconnect the glow plugs. try some staring fluid. both started. ran for a good hour or more. hooked the plugs back up. one is great. other one still does not want to start. checked everything i can think of. all seems good. whats am i missing????

thanks

you sure the glow plugs are working?

I had 8 bad glow plugs on my 1008 when I got it, wouldn't start till I changed them, also check the GP solenoid on the firewall with the key on when cold you should have 12-24 volts on both the big lugs when you first turn the key to the run position, if not the glow plug controller may not be working.

thats has all be checked. plugs are new. i have no idea

 

[mangus580]

Are they coming ON???

Check your fuel supply if not that then it may not be cranking fast enough

 

[84cucv1ton]

OKK cranking speed. forgot about that

He bought 2 for $2000? I can help, I'll give him $1000 for the non runner.

 

[84cucv1ton]

thats no good. he will sell the dana 60 for 1000

Can't blame one for trying.

 

[84cucv1ton]

very true. i dont blame you at all.

thanks for the help. got it running. the little card under the dash, burnt somehow. put in a push button. new 1000 cca batteries and a new starter. think it was called a 28mt. something like that. way lighter and easy to put up to. blend the line. came to life. starts good and easy now. thanks for the help

the 28mt is the gear reduction starter.

any idea why the card would burn up? was thinking i could fix it with a trip to radio shack. thanks

there is a small square chip with three pins on the edge farthest from the gold contacts, does it look burnt?
the chip is usually the culprit. I happen to have a few extra from when i had to get one in the past.

 

[84cucv1ton]

it was a round little thing that went. wire in the top one out the bottom. thats why i was thinking radio shack

 

[CCATLETT1984]

can you please snap a picture of it, and maybe circle the part in mspaint.

I bet its a off the shelf part, but want to be sure of the bad part.
