I confessed earlier that this was for my 6.2 chevy and that i posted it in here because the pumps are virtually the same but the chevy section is way slower. I didnt mean for it to turn in to a long thread , sorry guys

If the smoke is blue, sweet and burns your eyes, most likely your timing is way off. Also, for your edification and the general knowledge of others, you cannot "fill" a pump to make it work any faster. The fuel that is in the body of the pump is "post injection" which means it is all on its way out, not in. If you try to pour fuel in through the top cover, all your doing is wasting time and voiding your warranty.

Wow , good to know Mel ! Once i connected the cold advance it primed immediately. The smoke is grey , very mildly sweet if at all. I found out it is burning oil , which is probably why the previous pump i had wouldnt idle down. I cant find a good 6.2 or 6.5 so i dont know what im going to do. Im waiting to hear back from an ebay member as to whether or not his compression tester works on these.

You still didn't answer which kit you bought?
One is supposed to work. Even then, you could use the hose and gauge and just get a adapter.

I dont remember which kit it was , i just remember that it was the more expensive kit. It said that it would fit.

#46800 is supposed to be the more complete kit. At $180.
It actually lists 6.2/6.5 instead of just saying gm diesels.

I am going to order this adapter : http://www.toolfetch.com/tool-aid-3...4413335303030&gclid=CPqBoPaN3r4CFYpbfgodNqQAR

And this tester : http://m.harborfreight.com/12-piece-diesel-engine-compression-tester-93644.html


Am i missing anything?

Thanks guys

Long as the adapter connects to the gauge, should be g2g.

Actuall, this one looks like it has the same quick connect fitting as the hf gauge so I guess this is the one I need : http://www.toolsource.com/diesel-ad...QhNCP3r4CFZRcfgodXUwAow&sourceid=googleps

I just stopped by hf. The 46800 kit was on sale , with a coupon it came to $112 , normally $180

 

[79jasper]

Now try it out and see if it works. Lol

I've heard the harbor freight kit lasts for about 3 cylinders worth. I hope for your sake, that is not true.
