    CUCV won't prime

    Rack was sticky. Free now. Solenoid was on the cover separated ad free to move.

    CUCV won't prime

    I checked the solenoid yesterday. No click, so I opened up the top and tested it direct and nothing. The other solenoid in the cover works, but no the one that cut off the fuel. Got one on order. The arm assembly in that cover area was a bit sluggish when you manually worked it. I sucked out the...

    CUCV won't prime

    Finally had a chance to tackle it head on today. Bled the filter again just to be sure and pulled just one injector line loose. Put a small cup under it and making sure the electric pump was on and running, proceeded to do the crank 30 seconds, rest five minutes routine. Six times, nothing out...

    CUCV won't prime

    I tested the pink wire to make sure, power at the tab on the IP (injector pump). Fuel up the the IP, no problem. I will try just cracking one or two lines rather than all of them and give that a shot. Glows work well, on a manual solenoid/switch wired to the "wait to start light", card burned...

    CUCV won't prime

    So, due to a new job and all I haven't run my cucv for quite a while, almost 8 months or so . Needless to say, it wouldn't start. I assumed it lost prime and after making sure I had the filter full, I opened all of the injector lines and cranked it. Did it a bunch of times, allowing for cooling...

    CUCV no start

    Understand, but brought two guys from work-diesel techs. We gauged the pressure at the line going to the IP, good. Glows are new GM's (this fall), and have power-on a manual switch, card went bad. Got fuel coming out of return line off of the top of the IP. Zilch coming out of the pump . It...

    CUCV no start

    Mechanical pump was giving weak fuel flow, and I had a problem with the factory filter leaking (brick), even after replacing it. Went with an electric and a spin on filter assembly with a priming pump. Have great fuel flow and sufficient pressure right up to the injector pump. All new hoses with...

    CUCV no start

    Parked my CUCV last summer by the house. Ran fine, always ran well. Went to start it, and despite cranking, no fire. Been working on it as of late, and am perplexed. Put on a new fuel pump (converted to electric) and a spin on filter. Have fuel right up to the injector pump. I hear the solenoid...

    Dorman oil cooler lines in depth Review

    I bought the dormans from Rockauto for $20 and $21 each. Way cheaper than the ac delco's. However, they would not even begin to thread on, too small. Rockauto will not return as I tried to install them. Just excuse after excuse. Not dealing with that company again. I want the steel lines rather...

    Dorman oil cooler lines in depth Review

    Just tried to put the Dormans on tonight. Blasted things won't even fit the fittings in the block. Is there a workaround, or will the gm ones fit better? I swear, it is like one's metric and the other is sae.
