My brother's 89 7.3 sits dead in my driveway. It was hard starting today, (needed a boost of wd-40 down the intake) but once running ran fine. He came here and shut it off and we've gotten nothing else out of it.
I changed the fuel filter last week and am getting plenty of fuel to the ip, when I crack an injector line at an injector I get no fuel at all.
We tried the cool water on the injection pump and jumped the fuel shutoff solinoid to the battery, but got no change. I am wondering about the fuel inlet screen that I have heard mention of on a couple of other posts. Can anyone point me to it?
Other than that I can only assume broken Ip shaft.
I am also making the assumption that a worn piston in the ip would still deliver some fuel to the injector when it was turning over so that I would see it when I took the line loose from the injector.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance.
