CAT 3126 No Start
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have not started my coach with Cat 3126 for about six months. Went to get it ready for the summer today, but the engine won't start. Batteries are good, start...

Have some one crank the engine as you crack each injector line at the injector, when you see fuel emitting from the injector line tighten it and move to the next, it will start firing 1 cylinder at a time, when you have enough cylinders firing it will run without the starter's help, continuing bleeding each injector.
Is that sort of looking for a natural gas leak with a match? I realize diesel fuel isn't as explosive as gas, but your method here seems a little risky to me. Not to mention can you even get to the injectors to easily do this while the engine is being cranked?
