Another Deuce that wont start...but does crank...

[BlizzardX23]

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here! Unfortunately, it's been a while since I drove the truck...over 1 yr ago...it's been sitting on the side of my house.

A year ago, I started the truck up just fine...drove to the dump to get rid of some stuff...turned truck off...it wouldn't start after that.

I had a flatbed tow me home...since then, it has sat on the side of the house because I haven't had time to dig into it.

Now I'm here...trying to figure out the problem...using the search function...reading other peoples posts...

I turn the truck on, I hear my pump working.

Disconnected the fuel line underneath the radiator (driver side)...fuel is coming through when cranking.
From here, I'm not in the trouble shooting process...

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated! I will post pics and updates...and continue to search and read the other similar threads!


Thank you in advance!

Change the fuel filters, all of them. Bleed the air out of the secondaries and see what happens.

I'll get new filters.

The truck doesn't even try to start though...I understand old/bad filters are an issue...but the truck started up just fine...drove it...turned it off, and couldn't get it started again since then...

I'm scared as heck that it might be the injection pump...I don't have a $1,000 to drop on that...

Loosen one of the injection pump lines at the injector, crank, see if you have fuel

We are trying to give you the cheap stuff to look at and try first.

2moro, my buddy is going into work for a few hours and he's going to see if he has Baldwin filters for replacement. Hopefully he does...it'll be cheaper that way.

I'll get new filters put on, bleed the air out...then down the checklist I'll go...starting with the fuel lines to see if I have fuel making it to the injectors =/

good luck!

Thank you, FMJ and swbradley for the help so far!

What kind of fuel are you running?

 

[Warthog]

Pull the cover off the fuel shutoff and make sure the lever moves freely.

Pull the cover off the fuel shutoff and make sure the lever moves freely.

From what you posted, this is the answer.

 

[jamawieb]

Pull the cover off the fuel shutoff and make sure the lever moves freely.

I agree with Warthog and gimpyrobb, it sounds like the fuel shutoff is stuck. Especially since it ran, then it wouldn't start after shutdown.

 

[Floridianson]

Agree with the peanut gallery.Shut down control is sticking.

Well duh! Should have thought of that first.

 

[BlizzardX23]

Odd..I thought these pictures got posted last night.. =/


And I only run straight Diesel from 76 or Chevron

 

[FMJ]

Is it running?

 

[BlizzardX23]

Nope...It hasn't ran in over a year...I took the filters out last night...My buddy ordered the filters through his work..

2) Oil filters
2) 2nd Fuel filters
1) Primary Fuel Filter
1) Air filter

All Baldwin brand... $50.00 total. I'll pick them up Monday...I hate playing the waiting game...especially since that might not be the problem

You should have a bleeder valve on the secondary filter housing. The steps in checking fuel should go something like 1) primary filter (you've done this), 2) secondary filters, and 3) injectors. Have you done 2 and 3? If so what did you find?
