Yea I did that several times and got nothing so I took a couple lines totally off and still nothing.

Fuel problem...injector pump is getting fuel but won't push fuel?!?!

how fast is that engine spinning over, you should not be able to count the revs. you mentioned earlier about using starting fluid and it still would not pop (not a good idea BTW). slow spinning might be working against you.
you can use a regular tire gage on the shrader fitting, is there pressure there after cranking? you should have pressure there and solid stream of fuel no air. if you are getting air there constantly you are pulling it in form somewhere. i was going to suggest earlier that you could be pulling air in somewhere between the tanks and the engine but if you have that bypassed.

Yea it's not spinning like it should. Im probably gonna try to pull it. No air since I bypassed everything. BUT to pull it I gotta fix my crazy clutch problem and at least one blown brake line. Something so simple has turned into a nightmare...and at the end of the processs after it's ready to be mobile!

I'll check it. Can it be removed to clean?

When we Prime a dry idi, we usually leave the glowplugs out. We then crank the engine several times stopping to keep from frying the starter.
We crank the engine until diesel starts to spray out of the glow plug holes. By the time it sprays out al the holes. It usually fires right away once the glow,plugs are in.
The reason we do it this way, aside from making a big mess, is that the engine cranks really fast so the pump primes the lines rather quickly.
It also confirms that were getting fuel to the cylinders. If we don't get fuel, then we know something is wrong elsewhere

Still no fuel, but I haven't messed with it much. I DID however get my clutch and my brake lines fixed. But I found a couple wires torn and I don't see anything that hooks back to them AND I have a big green wire from my solenoid on the fender that I don't know where it goes. I took the motor out almost two years ago. I took pictures of most of it but not that one.
Anyone know how to upload pic from an IPhone? Or someone with an 87 I can swindle into looking under their hood for me? Lol

Best way to get nice big pictures here is to open a photobucket account, and get whatever code works on the site. I don't remember if it's the IMG or HTML one. Or, you send it to your email account as a picture message and upload it from your computer.

That wire goes to the solenoid on the fender. It seems stock since it has the little black rubber things that say "fusible link" just like all the other wires to the solenoid. But I can't remember where it's supposed to go.
