Here is a recap of the linked thread in post #17 The mechanic (Esty is his name),young guy and very ambitious and knowlegable(rare combination these days),suggested that the first step would be to pressure feed fuel into the head to the injectors via the fitting at the back of the head where I...

Here are some pictures of what I used to prime the injectors. I don't have the part numbers as I took the pump fitting to the hardware store and cobbled together the pieces. You need a bug sprayer (1gal will do), 10 feet of clear hose, clamps and fittings. Cut off the end of the spray wand and...

Instead of using a R134 tank on the back of the head, I used a bug sprayer at the fuel pump. I didn't have luck priming the system by pressurizing the tank because of the vent but you can bleed the lines by pressurizing the tank. I'll post pictures in the morning.

Over the weekend I gathered some parts for my attempt at getting the truck running. Today I assembled my contraption, hooked it up, set the throttle pedal and cranked the motor. After a couple of attempts she came to life. Runs perfect. I will be documenting the solution after my Patent...

No manual fuel primer on the M35A3 3116 engines. I wish there was. FMJ, I remember reading that but totally forgot about it. The other details outweighed the solution. Thanks for reminding me. I will see if it helps and document how to do it.

The A3 uses a mechanical "transfer pump" on the engine to draw fuel from the tank, send it thru the filter and onto the injectors. The injectors are where the pressure is built up.

This is an A3. Totally different fuel system than the A2. There is no pump in the tank. and there is only one fuel filter.

Checked the fuel level. The pickup tube was a couple of inches below the fuel level. Double checked the check valve at the tank. Checked the shut-off switch on the dash. It is functioning correctly. Checked for voltage at the fuel shut-off. A-Okay. The shut-off clicks with voltage applied...

What ever happened to M35A3.net? I was hoping to get all my answers there. ;-)

Good point. I will visually verify that the pickup tube is below the fuel line.

Okay, I am usually the one providing the answers but I'm stumped on this one. First M35A3 I have worked on. I am working on a stock M35A3. I was told that the truck had been running and was driven on and off the transport. Parked for over a year. The fuel tank was dry so I added 15 gal of...
