    Could this be the solution?

    I don't know if it really makes a big difference or not, but I guess I'm just busy, why not? So I did the "capacity test" today, It should be 1 pint in 30 sec. so I thought? well, warmed up the engine, it had frozen last night but no problem, she started right away! and when warmed up I...

    Grease gun recommendations?

    That! is a very clever Idea!!! Btw, I have a regular lincoln as well for at least 10 years now. what do you (all of you) do to store the lube gun in hot weather so that it doesn't become a big mess???

    Could this be the solution?

    would it make sense to continue to do any of the other tests? Like the at least one Pint in 30 seconds, or Feed IP from a bucket? at least I don't order a liftpump alone (I don't know if they have a "accompany a toddler alone travel" program with the airline he travels with? :angel: o_O...

    Could this be the solution?

    Yes, That's what I already thought. What I still wonder, is if there could be anything in the hardline from the pump to the filterhead and the filterhead itself? (although i had them cleaned when I did the tanks) maybe a stupid question, but with these lift pumps, how could they fail, and how...

    Could this be the solution?

    well, My truck is old in years, but (almost) new in mileage, 10234 Mi. I did test the resistance in the fuel circuit, I measured AFTER the hose, so just before the fuel enters the lift pump, and I had ZERO resistance (or vacuum) at stationary, and non when I had more rev's, I had no Rpm gage...

    Could this be the solution?

    Busy making some gadgets to measure some pressures and flow volumes. all your fault, motivating me to see how everything is as close to spec's or not? see if it works. Btw, what makes the filter heater to start heating the fuel?

    Could this be the solution?

    BTW, I found a video which very clearly explains the different functions from the fuel filter manifold, I hope it's ok if I link that here? 7.3 idi fuel filter manifold how it functions?

    I really need help with a weird no start

    Hello JohnLeePettymore, And? do you still have to walk? or is there any new developments?

    Could this be the solution?

    would this be the same for lift or non lift colums? I couldn't find that hole where he was poking in with that screwdriver? mine is a non lifting column.

    Could this be the solution?

    HHmmm, I'm not sure about that, could be? but would (if this one is contaminated) this pump still pull a vacuum at the filterhead? I'm not sure?

    Could this be the solution?

    Would be fun to test before and after the filter at the same time, helas I'm not equipped to do so, I can call myself lucky to have at least 1 (one) such a vacuum-gage to use! to measure the pressure drop over such (and eventually New) filter. If I manage to "tee" in my gage before the lift...

    7.3 IDI Cranking but not catching.

    well, last month I had the IP from a VW here, heavily contaminated with algae, wouldn't start either, nothing. and I opened that pump and cleaned everything in there manual, not with cemicals or so, and I ended up putting new seals in it as well, and now it runs again, I learned a lot in that...

    Could this be the solution?

    It has, but I don't think it's stuck, because about two or three months ago I all cleaned very thoroughly, and I'm not using the midships tank for the moment,and he's still dry, so no return diesel there either.

    Could this be the solution?

    not yet, could you imagine, This whole story started in January 2023! I know, a lot of things are happened since then, but imagine, in the end (If so) a bit of fuel hose preventing me getting my truck registered due to "impossible" to drive....-Flame Thr

    Could this be the solution?

    The only one I know of would be where the nylon and steel lines coming from the tank go to the lift pump, and that I will be checking out soon as the weather clears.

    Could this be the solution?

    Image of filterhead; Am I right in assuming that Red and Green flash are BEFORE filter? and Violet flash is AFTER filter? with my test I used the green connection, because I couldn't get the vacuum switch out without destroying it, didn't feel too much for doing that :-( My test, as said on the...

    Could this be the solution?

    Does anyone of you know if I still can get, and so where? the Airtex mechanical lift pump for these engines? I was told these have less issues then the Carter ones.

    Could this be the solution?

    Nice from you all to help me so well. No, I did not yet do the bucket test, we have really bad weather here now, and I'm working outside. I did the test with the compound gage and used not the schrader valve port, but the one next to it where the brass valve thingie is in which also connects to...

    Could this be the solution?

    well, I was reading through Dieselmanns pages, and I stumbled upon this, it's from his page, and when you mention where it comes from you are allowed to use it, so herby: Fuel system Next check for fuel delivery through the fuel filter. On 6.9 engines this is checked at the 3/16" hose barb on...

    Could this be the solution?

    When I read this I thought: undo the fuel line after the lift pump, and see how much diesel you get in the bucket in let's say one minute or so, thinking further, with no diesel to the IP the engine will not run and so on!:drunk::sly

    7.3 IDI Cranking but not catching.

    Hi Russ, thanks for the image, but that product, I'm not sure If I can find that over here. though this metering valve, if it sticks, the result is that you can't change rev's? it stays on the same number of Rpm's?

    well I was busy typing such a thing... you overtook me :) That will be for tomorrow when we have daylight again, and no rain I hope.

    Could this be the solution?

    Ok, but what difference would that make? I.e. what goal you have in mind by doing so?

    Could this be the solution?

    Isn't that a bit difficult? the fuel going into a bucket instead of the IP? I think the test could be over quickly? if there is no motor to activate the fuel pump? :eek::angel:

    Could this be the solution?

    dang! guys! you and this forum are sssoooooo ggoooooddd! we have a saying here, "messen ist wissen" "meten is weten" or "measure is knowing" and again, that's king! It will be more difficult if you don't have the right tools for the job, but......... Anyway, I found how to measure the fuel...
