Keep looking, the shop in Victoria TX, one of the only shops around here that still rebuilds the DB2 charges 7-900 which is still high, the diesel shop in Corpus said they can get one exchange for 650. Yes what they charge is absurd, not that much to them but because it is one of those magical...

Well if you happened to have disturbed the pieces that were broken off in the pump and it seizes while you are cranking it it could shear the camshaft key (If it already hasn't) then you get to take the entire front of the motor apart to fix it, seems like a foolish game of Russian Roulette to...

I was afraid to ask him to spin it again..Maybe by hand, do not test the fates!!

Sorry man,,, THAT SUCKS!! I guess the question now is did it jam up down in the governor housing and bust a key in the cam gear... Actually that piece you have in your hand looks like it came out of the gov. housing. EDIT, but what an opportunity for us ALL to learn!!

Sounds good! IF you start getting fuel out of the injection lines, pull the power to the IP and make sure it stops while cranking before tightening up the lines.

I normally would not say that the fuel must be changed because I have never seen diesel gum up things, I have a little dozer I just brought back to life after almost ten years sitting in a pasture, fuel is just as clear and clean as it started, good thing too as there was about 20 gallons in it...

At this point I would drain and replace the fuel, you would be very smart (need) to do that before installing a new IP anyway. Does your truck have an inspection plate over the fuel tank?

You know this "gumming up" crap must have something to do with JP fuel, I have never seen this with diesel. maybe whatever they put in to winterize it or otherwise condition for high altitude flight, we do not get winterized fuel this far south.

The round shaft is the throttle shaft I speak of.

I see what you are saying, that linkage is pretty sloppy and we normally do not see it trying to compress the spring with the top off, so maybe just stuck, fingers crossed..

Look at the pics I posted in #8 that "tab" is what the run/stop solenoid pushes on to stop the engine, it looks like it is in the stop position, see if you can gently get that "tab" closer to the throttle shaft, should almost be touching and see if that spring gets uncompressed. EDIT, that tab...

Was probably pretty easy to get the cover back on with the linkage in that position..

Look in post #8 first picture, I do not think the spring in the bottom of THIS picture should be compressed with the cover off, looks like the linkage is in stop position. EDIT, you can also see this in the linkage in the upper left of THIS picture, it should be closer to the throttle shaft. I...

OK, add some water to that bottle, shake it up real good and the set it on a shelf for a few days and see if a black line appears between the water and fuel, this might indicate if you have "bugs" in your fuel, may as well while you are puttering around... The bacteria lives in the water but...

Camo is correct in saying you should have posted some pics, we never got a report on how the inside of the body looked? clean as a whistle? While some IPs may die from things like water intrusion diesel does not tend to gum things up as bad as say gasoline. IMHO many of the failed IPs are as...

And/or that few more RPM might help best loose whatever is stuck!

YES now is the time to put those new batteries in!! It is not out of the realm of possibility that the cranking voltage is low enough that the run solenoid could possibly be dropping out!

Don't put anything in the front of the body (the first picture arrow) where the gov weights are that could eat the input shaft seals.. I know RWH would frown on this as he is a reputable business man and this is just not how he would be expected to do things, he would replace the pump because...

OK this does bring up a question, you said earlier you were charging batteries, do you have a known GOOD set of batteries? just a thought...

Well then if you are POSITIVE you are getting fuel to the IP and zip zero out of the body then you will not hurt anything by pulling the screen, not likely the problem though. but will not cost anything to look as you strip it down to pull the IP, RWH is correct of course, the turbo is easier to...
