The idle / stop solution was to remove the solenoid, I had put a bit of diesel fuel into a coffee carafe used the manual hand pump to prime the system. Half expecting I would have to turn the engine over with the starter to complete the priming, maybe even crack one or two injector nuts.
Ha as the engine turned over it fired right up and this was without using the glow plugs, this tells me the engine is in pretty good condition also when I shut it down keep an eye on the fan blades as it rocks from the compression.
Junkyard Kubota first start up in years.
