cracking the injector nuts or not?If you have a electric pump, leave it hooked inline and running, and start cranking. It should eventually start.

No. If you're cranking to start do not crack the injectors. That would perhaps let air into the system, right before the cylinder, and certainly allow fuel to escape, lessening the amount of fuel going into the cylinder.cracking the injector nuts or not?
National Pipe Thread.
If that's the same size as the stock one on my truck it's "1/8 inch NPT" (National Pipe Taper) at least I'm pretty sure that's what NPT stands for....
I presume you moved that to the outlet side of the fuel filter correct? I didn't install it yet, but I like to have one here for when i reinstall the original filter in a few months when evrything is back to normal, and when I filtered the most of the residue's out of the system. (hence the alternative filter for the moment)
I too am curious why it isn't running. Was the filter empty when it died after you had it running? Shouldn't take a very big pump to make it idle, it's under load where it takes more fuel. It might be because I just discovered that I also had a inline filter hidden away in the e-pump circuit somewhere, which was empty btw. I got rid of that one and try again today. that was a bad suprise.
The injector nuts should only be cracked until you see fuel at them, then you're supposed to tighten them up. That's just to bleed the air out. Apologies if there was any misunderstanding. No misunderstanding there. I got it.
Use only a little bit. Only use it after you disable the glow plugs. If they come on after you spray it, it could cause an explosion inside your engine and that wouldn't be good.would a little bit of start pilot make any difference? (I was under the impression this engine doesn't take that well???)
This is making me wonder if your starter isn't in very good condition. If the starter doesn't spin the engine over fast enough, it won't start. With everything that you have done, and the engine not starting, it makes me think that the starter isn't spinning the engine over fast enough.and the positive lead of the starter is Too hot to touch!
