I was hoping to move the 200 this weekend so we could rearrange the barn to get the corn planter up front. I waited until the afternoon Saturday (high of 37-40) and plugged in the block heater to the generator for about 2 hours, used the glow plugs, and it cranked good (batteries were in good shape) but I had no smoke at all. I tried a couple times while cycling the glow plugs then gave up when batteries seemed to have ad enough. When I got off I noticed the intake was warm to the touch, and I checked the glass water separator and it was full of red fuel. Any ideas on whats going on? I dont really want to use ether if i dont need to.

| No smoke means no fuel. You had the shut-off knob on the instrument panel pulled OUT ?? and the throttle opened up to 1/3 or so ?? When's the last time it was run ?? |

DrAllis you just embarrassed me lol. I have been running the other tractors all winter and completely forgot about the fuel shutoff on that tractor haha. Ugh now ill probably have dead batteries to deal with. I had it running in late November. I put the throttle around the 2 mark. Ill have to give it a try only this time let it have fuel.
