    So i never touched the factory idle screw and they were painted red and wired tied together to make sure no one fiddled with them. I have zero binding on the fuel rail linkage but yet when i start the machine it keeps going sky high in rpm right off the get go and it seems to be putting so much...

    LIKE stright out of a cartoon., I went to block off the intake and because I didnt use the gaskets first time around because i was just dry fitting unsure of if it would start. WITH THE INTAKE 100% blocked off with a metal plate it STILL RAN by the leaks in the intake manifold from no gaskets...

    No idea what this thing is called inside the injector pump but does it go back in under any particular rotation?, like those holes dont have to point a certain direction right? it just has to go in skinny end down into the pump, right?

    THAT is the problem i have 2 injector pumps online, by just losening the lockdown nut and turning however this is risky because i dont know which injector pump tappet is high or low, and i still seem to cant get fuel from 2 pumps, will keep trying, one of the jector pulses look GREAT now !!!!

    i figued i'd get the stop solenoid out of the way and keep the rack in the run position to help build up pressure faster everytime i crank,.. Indeed my return lines arms are more toward the hold downs than the other direction because it seems to give it the best range of motion in the rack but...

    Ended up working backwards here. Definely not getting fuel like i should. Went back and readjusted the fuel rack, depending on the angle you set the injector return line spouts bolted down; changes the total range the metering arm can rotate. the engine repair manual says to have them rotated...

    OK, it became a strategic postponement tonight because i put the battery tenders on both battieries after the first inital tries to renew them for tomarrows attempts. After spending so much time going this far; that iniatall start up is DANG gut wrenching haha

    Hey thanks for the gasket advise,, Here's my update:naner: I"m possible seeing the light at the end the tunnel, no pun intended. Rack and injectors seem to be in-line and rotating properly. I finished late this evening and got a few cranks in to try to start it. No start after three, 5 -7...

    OOOO YESS im on to something here.. Refrenceing the lister repair series on youtube. It discusses how The engine must be rotated when installing the pumps to get the tappets to lower to the appropriate height. I was not rotating the engine Thus the tappet heights are not proper causeing them to...
