86 6.9 IDI 4×4 w/ banks Square box turbo
68000 miles (yes its actually correct and not rolled over)
This truck sat for 26ish years. I put two battery's in it and it started right up and drive on the trailer. Even drive it on the highway once and it ran just fine. Then I found out the was a hole in the valley pan. Took care of that, fixed a broken off glow plug. Really didn't mess with anything else.
Obviously I removed the injection pump and everything else to get to the valley pan. I replaced the injectors also with new injectors.
When starting the truck now after all this is done it smokes really really bad. And chugs as though it's wanting to stall. If I don't touch the pedal it will slowly stall off.
Here's the kicker if I disconnect the little glass ball check valve for the return fuel line amd let the fuel just spit out it doesn't smoke and idle relatively fine ( I have not driven it with it disconnected so I don't know if it will drive fine under load). Due to weather and personal time I haven't had time to really dig more into it.
Now for the questions:
1. Is that check valve necessary can I remove and just connect the return line straight without it.
2. What the heck is happening to casue this in first place.
3. If someone is local to me (Beaverton/Portland, OR) and wants to figure it out I'll build you a custom fire pit woth your name or whatever you want plasma cut into it. I jusy want my truck back on the road.
