I have exhausted my troubleshooting abilities. I am an aircraft mechanic not a diesel. Please help.
I had what I thought was a injector pump going out. It had low power and hard to start. So, i got a rebuilt ip off ebay.
I installed it and these are the problems:
-It will start after sitting for a long time (hours or a day)
-When it starts i hold it at high throttle. It starts and runs as normal for about 30sec to a min. Then dies like i turned it off (no stumble).
Things to know:
-I have everything partially installed. The manifold it on with only the back bolt with the three grounds.
-A month or so ago I installed a spin-on filter. It ran after the install.
-I run jet fuel in it when not driving on the road. It was running with the same batch that is in it now.
Things I have tried:
-Removed the inlet side of the pickup pump and feed the inlet with a fuel tank on the ground to elemenate a clog in the tank.
-Put a clear hose on the ip outlet(return). No bubbles noted
-Took a seperate battery and used it to hold open the ip shut off solinoid.
All troubleshooting attempts produced the same results of starting if it sits and then dies abruptly after a minute.
Please give me some input from your experiences.
