    Quick question about M35A2 LDT 465 timing.

    Truck has never ran like it should. New fuel lines, HH Orings, Booster pump seal kit. By looking at my pics, is my timing off?

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    Ok so I ended up adding a lift pump above the fuel tank. Since I only had about 3psi of fuel pressure after the first filter. That seemed to help. I also changed the injector nozzles and the truck ran great. Then just the other day. I was pulling a drag to clear some property and the deuce...

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    I wiped off the booster pump this morning started the fuel pump and watched for fuel leaking Didint see any so I started engine and checked again. No fuel leak as far as I could tell. Before I wiped down the pump I did a sniff test on the fluid that was on the hose. It didint smell like diesel...

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    Would be nice. I'm going to wait to start it up in the morning so I don't piss off my neighbors. I'll try bleeding the injectors but if that don't help then I'm pulling the pump. Probably will pull it regardless since it definitely looks like it's leaking. Thanks for all the responses from...

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    I just replaced the line and it was dry. I replaced the old one because it was wet just like it is now. Maybe it was the booster pump all along?

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    I just noticed the new fuel line between the primary filter and booster pump has fuel on it. It's tight so I'm thinking maybe the booster pump is leaking. It's wet about 12" down the line and the booster pump has oil on it.

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    When I got the injectors I opened them up and cleaned them with carb cleaner. They had lots of carbon around nozzles so I ran a Qtip thru them and took a fine piece of copper wire to clear out the holes. Sprayed them down with wd40 , reassembled hooked them to the pop tester. All but one of them...

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    Seems to work ok. But I havent checked the pressure. If I turn off the fuel pump while it's still running, I don't notice any change in rpm or hear any difference in performance. Should it affect performance while idling?

    M35a2 hard start when cold surging hunting and smoking

    This last fall I purchased a 71 m35a2. It had been sitting for years. Truck started after 2 -3 try usually. It drove great when you floored the pedal. But had a bad hesitation in low to mid throttle. When the weather here in Arizona started getting colder. Starting became next to impossible in...
