Looking to sell it?

I removed the center plug again, and tried to push down with a rod. I can move the rod about 1/8" against what seems to be spring pressure. It will push down then springs back up again. Is this normal? I don't know if it is at the bottom of the stroke or not; I'm trying to do this by myself...

RE: Duece won What I meant to say was how do I check the fuel distributor head?

RE: Duece won Haven't tried ether. I get no smoke at all when cranking, and like I said earlier, no fuel at the injectors if I remove the lines.

RE: Duece won And how do I do that?

We have a multifuel, non-turbo that simply won't start. I get plenty of fuel to the injector pump (in-tank pump works fine), checked the fuel shut off lever under the pump cover (everythine is fine there), and removed the plug from the center of the hydraulic head. With the plug removed, I get...

I'll look in to the cost of this. I know quite a few diesel techs that can probably help us out. Another thing I was wondering...Since this is a NA engine, it has a muffler mounted under the chassis. From the muffler, the exhaust comes back up to a stack like the turbo versions. Any chance...

We will look into getting the injectors cleaned & tested. We are running #2 fuel, but the weather hasn't been cold enough for it to gell. We also run quite a bit of conditioner in these trucks. Temp seems OK, but like you said, they always seem to run better after about an hour. There are...

The original pump is still in the tank. We have had two pumps go bad, so we got tired of replacing them and went to an aftermarket type. Do the original pumps have a problem with low voltage? It seemed that every time a pump quit, we had low batteries. This was taken care of with battery...

Thanks for the replies. The smoke is somewhat white/gray at idle and light load, turns black under heavy acceleration and load. We have tried checking for leaks with just the pump running, but nothing shows up. We have changed all of the filters, including the primary filter. When we put on...

We have a deuce with a Hercules non-turbo multifuel. This truck has been getting short on power, and hard starting for a few months. Idles rough, and sometimes wants to die at idle. Since it's used as a grass fire truck, it doesn't get alot of use until the spring. We changed the fuel filters...
