Marine diesel problem

this is going to be a bit long. we sailed motored 2000 miles from guatamala to texas we had some fule filter issues that were resolved but after i got to texas and the motor had run for 6 mointh with no issue. i turned of the engine at the dock and went home to sleep on land. i came back to move our boat to the marina and she would not start just turn over over and over and over. no matter waht she will not start we reprimed and checked the celnoid , glow plugs, fule pump, compresion waht could be doing this to my engine i have no clue what to do next to get this fixed.

Put forth and you can be whatever you choose

First i would clean the filter/ fuel line again. This is a fuel problem, move the fuel linkage adjustment so the engine gets more fuel. This will be the rod that kills the engine when you shut down.  Lester

you got it ill do that tomorow morning and go at it again. i changed the raycor and secondary fule filter while crossing the gulf. should i go ahead and change both filters again? i do have to say we hit 14 foot seas during our crossing and the secondary fule filter was full of orange and black biofoul like nothing i have ever seen.
