So i read tons of threads and tech on IP replacement and after deliberating endlessly on the different Moose Pumps from Conestoga, i finally just gave up and bought a lower cost option from RockAuto re manufactured by GB Remanufacturing.
Needless to say i'm writing this post because it doesn't seem to be functioning properly and I'm about to give up and rip it back out. Which i do not want o do for obvious reasons.
I followed the instructions on the tech article meticulously and i replaced the injectors with NEW injectors, reused the old lines, and used a new return line kit. There are no leaks in the system when turning it over. I have a pushbutton glowplug switch so i was able to go through the priming process with the ignition ON and by jumpering the starter relay. I placed shop towels between the injectors and lines so i could see the fuel coming out. After about 20 cycles at 20 seconds per cycle, on a freshly charged battery hooked up to a booster here's what i have:
After a couple of starter cycles i begin so see fuel from the cylinder 4 fuel line, then after a few more cycles there is fuel from cylinder 5 fuel line, then after a few more cycles fuel from the number 6 fuel line. I kept going after that and from what i can tell those are the only 3 getting fuel. I realize that this is the firing order for the motor, but as my batteries were starting to wear out i began losing faith. In my head i figured all 8 would start to get fuel at the same time.
AM i screwed here or do i just need to keep going?
THANKS!!
