    Need help. 6.9 not firing.

    Well I tore the front down, its in time. No keyway sheared or anything. Checked lift pump, its good. Got fuel going through the filter and to the IP. Not enough going to injectors. Pulled a line off and got a little drizzle when i turned it over. Nothing like it should be. I have 12v to the FSS...

    The original story i got from the kid i bought it from was this. Its an old farm truck. They were driving it in a field, they got it to where they were going, shut it off. It never started back.

    Yeah i just went to get the kids from school, ill do that when i get back. I thought the same thing about it not turning over fast enough. I charged the 2 batteries that were in it.
