I did a little reading on the diesel 911 issue, and there is some controversy about if it is an issue or not. The thing is like a lot of internet issues long on opinions, not much on hard facts. The claim is that it will gum up your injectors. I don't know, but I doubt they could sell the stuff...

I finally got down to my property where the SEE is now and with my nephew's help I was able to get it running again. The solution is not one I have seen suggested here, but it worked for me. We installed a electric fuel pump. 24 volt pump $15 We installed it by splicing it in to the rubber...

Thanks Peakbagger. I have an old outboard squeeze bulb that I think will be serviceable for this test. I just gave a quick spray onto the air filter, I did not remove the air filter, just the outside lid. As Frank8003 said attempting to use a can of either as a fuel source is a really bad...

Well, I am prone to over thinking things as I am sure you know by now. I have fought air leaks in the past. This seems a lot different as it does not fire at all. I can try the Peakbagger hand pump trick and if that makes it run then I would be convinced it is an air leak. That is easy enough...

There is a either system for cold start, mine is not functional I just gave it a short burst on the air filter to verify that it was getting air. Not to have it run on the stuff. I have the TMs. I think this may be the procedure 1. ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START OR HARD TO START. Step 1...

Yeah I made my own back when I was dealing with the supply lines out of some hardwood and a couple of carriage bolts. I drilled various size holes slightly smaller that the hose between the two pieces of hard wood. It worked OK but the hardwood was too slick and I had to add tape to the lines.

Sorry it was a busy day at work and I should have posted more info I started with the prescreen. There was some stuff in there, but not a lot. Basically enough to know it was serving a purpose, but not enough to makke me believe it was restricting the flow of fuel. I had a spare pre-screen...

Thanks Frank, Here is a link to information on it, OM 352 model 353.999. Engine Manufacturer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Daimler-Benz Model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

OK Frank. The military runs JP-8, and there are a lot of comments on the quality of that. When I was a kid we ran #1 diesel in our old John Deere tractors, I might be able to source that. I will not argue the quality or merits of #2 Diesel I am sure we can generate a lot of discussion on...

Unlike a lot of you I have been relatively lucky with my fuel issues, I guess it is my turn now. When I bought my SEE, I had it delivered to my house in the city so that I could work on it. At that time it seemed to start and run just fine on the snake oil that was in the tank ( I assume JP8 )...
