Now the truck starts right up , but still smokes a lot. I dont know if its air in the lines or all the kerosene and WD-40 and diesel i was spraying down the intake when it wouldn't start, or the crapp in the fuel tank, or if it is low compression. Once i got the many issues sorted, i can maybe...
I want to say my thanks to cucvrus and everyone who helped to diagnose the m1028's starting issues.
i had to
- fix the glow plug card
- new glow relay
- new fuel pump
- new glow plugs
- injection pump
but now she runs.
@cucvrus I am the OP, but I don't remember saying anything about dropping bolts. (I scrolled back- someone named Matt5 was writing about bolts)
I was planning on stuffing a magnet in the socket. And cover the opening of the timing case downward.
Somehow i thought it would be common sense to do...
When changing the Injection Pump, i am supposed to mark the case, which is kind of senseless, as I am installing a bee pump. So how do I line up the new IP properly?
I had to make sure again . I definitely am getting fuel past the fuel filter to the rubber hose that connects thr IP inlet.
after that fuel there is no more fuel.
Yes, I agree with you. I have been cranking for while and it hasn't changed in any kind of way, so I can comfortably assume that the injection pump is bad. Can you PM me and let me know how much your IP will cost?
So when i bypass the IP furl shut off solenoid straight to battery i get a nice distinct click. A little less on the connector.
But still a nice click. 11.xV on the connector. I cranked 4 times so far for about 7 secs each with full throttle with solenoid bypassed. No drip on the open injector...
I think i checked for voltage at the connector before. Will check again today. Also ill listen for it to engage with voltage applied. I dont have a injection pump. I cracked one of the injector lines open and get no fluid or wetness coming out. I get fuel coming from the return hose on top...
How much does the engine turn before the fuel pump push rod moves? Mine is against the plate and with a whole revolution (stopping at various points) with a bar and a 24mm socket on tbe crank, i did not find the spot where the pin is supposed to be able to slide up into the block
At this moment I won't use any Ether.
I posted this thread to get some feedback on wether I should go the route of buying new parts. Or realizing the fact that there may be too much damage to this engine already.
Maybe I don't have enough experience to make this decision in a proper manner or I...
The guy i bought the truck from stated that she will start with ether, so i dont know how many times he has done that.
Did you notice the part where i mentioned a lot of blow by even while cranking.
I dont get a deep skip while starting, but that doesnt mean that there is no compression on all...
I just picked up a m1028 and the seller told me that there are no batteries and the engine doesnt run but would run with some ether.
got the truck home and with batteries she turms over. No start. Glowplug card is bad. Glow plugs are bad glow plug relay possibly bad. Tried to start with wd40...
