    -10to -15 degree start up with 1009

    When its -10 or below the only way I can get it to start is with a 2-3 second squirt of ether,my glow plugs are manual only.I spin motor till I see white smoke from tailpipes,then hit with ether for 2 seconds and it starts right up quickly.No GPs.Is this acceptable?

    M1009 will not run creates suction at the fuel filter

    If the pump works fine with outlet line unhooked I would think all is good to that point,maybe check valve on return sticking? Really interesting problem.Hope someone with experience comments.Last summer my 1009 did something similar,I opened my fuel cap,whoosh ,sucked air into tank,then truck...

    flat battery? new to this

    Is it still 24/12v? My best advice is use the search function top of page,you can type in cucv no start or hard start and learn tons or kilos of info !Sometimes Im in the archives for hours.Also pick up a multi meter and test light for electrical issues. Congrats and have fun.

    I have fuel psi gauge into filter and 1 for after filter,they bounced around a bit like yours,was told small air bubbles was cause.They have since equaled out and read steady.

    M1009 Electrical issues

    I would pick up a used wireing harness,then at least you would have a decent starting point,then if you still want 12v look into the rosscommon conversion.

    what size fuse would you use for power to 12v port?Using 1/0 ga. or 4ga.?Power to GP solenoid would be separate.
