The return line from the IP to the tank is the -4 AN ( 1/4" JIC ) line.
I believe the oil pressure gage feed line is also -4
Everything else ( fuel wise ) is -5 (5/16"JIC)
Get your batteries charged up and try again.
As a test, from a cold start, hit the glow plugs for 30 seconds and then feel the intake where the pre-heaters are to be sure it feels warm.
Then try feeling the glow plugs as well, to be sure that system is working.
If so, warm them again and try to...
As a price reference point, a custom made hydraulic hose with the 5/16 JIC ends you need would be $19 each. ( $10 assembly fee and $9 for the fittings and hose )
The hose is cheap, $1.68 per foot, fittings are $3.49 so the length of the hose makes very little difference in cost, it's the...
Yes, -AN fittings from Summit are a definite option, but I have used them on race cars before and it is really difficult, time consuming and expensive to use.
Each pre-made hydraulic hose assembly will cost less than just 1 reusable -AN fitting.
There are also several old threads on here where...
I've always preferred to just have new hoses made.
Easiest place is www.discounthydraulichose.com
go on, design your own hose and they are on your door step 2-3 days later.
You want AN-5 or 5/16 JIC female swivel ends.
1/4" or 5/16" hose, which ever uses cheaper fittings, and make your hoses a...
You have lots of options here. You Do NOT need to run 2 redundant pumps, one is perfectly fine, just have a backup plan if that pump craps out when you need it most.
You can remove the solenoid and put the Aux pump in line with the other good pump you have.
Or just use the aftermarket...
What's in there that you want to sand off, just varnish? If so you're probably better off with a round "Pipe cleaner" style wire or nylon brush and more carb cleaner. Fine sandpaper or emery cloth wrapped around a dowel or anything round ( like a pencil ) will work as well, just don't get too...
Soak it from both sides as Rick mentioned. I use Berryman's B12 carb cleaner, it's about the most toxic ( best ) stuff you can find!
After a good soaking try tapping the pump body on a piece of wood to dislodge the plunger. The pump body will hit the wood first, not the center tube, so no fear...
Hey Brother Hec, your problem seems pretty straight forward since your pumps obviously are not running. It does seem odd that all 3 pumps have stopped, but if the Aux pump was used in the past and has stale fuel in it, or the float is stuck up ( or the tank if full ) that would explain the Aux...
