a little more info would be beneficial. does it crank real slow as if the starter is dragging or is there just a huge drain on the batteries ? The starters are very tempermental and just hate the heck out of being over cranked. Also make sure that you have all the glow plug wires installed tightly and didnt bump another wire off a terminal.
