6.9 IDI endless hard starts
How much advance? I'm gonna be conservative but don't want to do damage by advancing too much- seanres

Damn I'll double check but from my memory I think they are higher than that- seanres

6.9 IDI endless hard starts
When I installed the new IP I put it to the static mark so I could try to advance it a dime's width and see if it helps much. I think I did check ohms back when I first got them but can't remember, I did hear about many fakes but didn't have other choices at the time and the old ones were...- seanres

6.9 IDI endless hard starts
I got ZD-1-A plugs from Grand Tex Auto Parts on Ebay. From my memory glow plugs read about 12.1v when manual bypass button is pressed on all 8, checked this past week but can't remember the voltage. Granted, even with the starting fluid starts it does smoke a bit so I know my timing is off but...- seanres

6.9 IDI endless hard starts
I got it rebuilt from a local shop that works on IDIs in the northeast. Not sure if I'm better off just timing it after starting with ether or trying to do some IP adjustment beforehand. I've had mixed luck with the piezo pickup on the 1st cylinder with the RPM reading being real shotty and...- seanres

6.9 IDI endless hard starts
I've got a 1983 F350 6.9 IDI that I've been working on for over a year. Came with a hard starting issue but ran with a lot of white smoke that reduced with a new IP. I am still having issues with starting when its cold no matter the temperature. It'll start right up with a bit of ether and after...- seanres

6.9 IDI hard start and idle lope
Strangely enough if you can see in the video I actually replaced the return line to fuel filter line with a clear hose and haven't seen any air while cranking to start. I'll remove and cap it just to see, will be replacing the lift pump to fuel filter line with clear tubing to see if I can spot...- seanres

6.9 IDI hard start and idle lope
Not sure about the timing. Have not tried putting any ATF in either, will replace the fuel filter which I haven't done anyhow and fill it with ATF and see if it improves- seanres

6.9 IDI hard start and idle lope
Early 1983 F350 6.9 IDI that'll only start with ether and has a lope that sounds like not all 8 are firing. Clears up after 5mins or so but every cold start has the lope, lots of white smoke. Smoke clears a bit when on throttle but does not clear up entirely. Thought new injectors would fix it...- seanres
