    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Yes. I'm going to wrap this up. I'm not sure WHAT SPECIFICALLY fixed it since I replaced every part of the fuel system! However, during firing of the parts cannon, I installed the injection pump 180 degrees out. NOW, it fires up no problem. No cranking, no funny business - just fires off...

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    Helicoil went OK. Buttoned up front cover and it fired immediately and idled Murphy wasn’t asleep tho. My NOS number 1 injector hardline is broken and there is fuel allllll over the front end. I will try my old hard line and if that doesn’t work, maybe I can have the end repaired. Not...

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    I assure you it will. Hard start but will fire off and idle. I hope that this knowledge will be helpful and no one else will second guess themselves.

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    Yep - red tooth is 180 out when I disconneted and rotated the IP! Unfortunately, I pulled the threads out of one of the three IP pulley bolts when re-tightening it. SO - I guess I will be trying to figure out which size helicoil to repair it. Dammit. So close!

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    Rockers. OK! Crank. OK! Pump Top Window. OK! Do not see a red tooth for hydraulic head! But I do not see a pointer either? :/ Pics attached. I think I need to disconnect and rotate the injection pump another revolution.

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    Injection Pump Swap: 1. I DID NOT pull the valve cover to check valve train. 2. I'm pretty sure I verified marks on old pump were in same place before I pulled it (91% sure?) 3. I DID align the pointer on the cank to LDT mark (this is what my engine type is on the engine plate) 4. I DID...

    Coolant Overflow

    There is a hole in my radiator neck under the cap where the coolant can expand and escape. There is not a tube or reservoir of any kind to collect the coolant so it can return to the radiator as it cools. Dumb questions - assuming I want an expansion tank: is there a reason not to have an...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    This is looking promising. NEW injector on number 5. https://youtube.com/shorts/G1M8wHp84g0?si=vzFKa7tg_FS01QPr I’m going to buy 5 more.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Facts: 1. I am getting lots of flow all the way through all NEW parts all the way to the (NEW) hydraulic head. Its not a lot of pressure, but the flow will fill a pint bottle in seconds. 2. The hydraulic head is firing. I can remove the line and see a strong squirt at each injector inlet...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Done. No difference. I also removed, verified clean or replaced with new parts all the way from tank to IP. Zero base pressure. No pressure while cranking.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Done. 24 volts at the pump. Still 1 psi at pump.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Video of zero base fuel pressure. No presure while cranking. The rattling is just 6 months of tools sitting on the fender.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Zero base pressure at secondary where I should see 5 PSI. There is 1psi showing at tank. Zero psi at secondary when cranking. 1. NEW (NOS) pump and hanger 2. Cleaned hardline from tank to primary filter housing today (again) 3. Removed and checked, cleaned primary filter housing today...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Ok - maybe undo the rubber line that connects the hard line under the radiator to the booster? Without pressure / flow ? Just hope it sucks it up?

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    The old gasket was reusable and the old pump was probably OK after tank cleaning. The fuse was OK. HOWEVER, I have replaced the whole assembly - hanger and pump are NOS unit. I also used a NEW gasket and new stainless screws. The new unit has its own fuse so I have't checked it. Its...

    Maybe - but not sure of a good place to introduce a fuel canister.

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Fail. Parts Cannon Fail. Everything Still Fail. I want to start another thread because this one is embarassing in the amount of fail. Truck started fine before sitting up and I removed tank to clean and change the filters. After that, truck would (hard) start with starting fluid only...

    Removal of Injection Pump Pulley Boss

    Solution posted up for next person. Manufactured plate to slide behind the pulley flange. Used extra long threaded bolts to push the flange off as they were tightened. Plus- lots of heat. Two hours later and lots of cuss words, it is off. Anyone wanna see pictures of my tool? It is...

    Removal of Injection Pump Pulley Boss

    I was lookin at that. Looks like that holder is more for removing the center nut. Not sure how to adapt that to to remove the pulley boss / flange. MAYBE I could dril lthe holes bigger in the holder so the puller can reach through it. I'm also thinking about putting steel plate behind the...
