For those who want to do this little experiment themselves, here is the valve we're talking about. It is located between the filter canisters on the top of the filter assembly. You will either have a valve or a ball. Remove it and the spring. Reinstall the plug and try and start your truck.

Now there must be ground rules for this bet. Since we where originally talking about this "none" running truck, your truck must be none running for a week. Also there must not be any "residual" pressure in the "Hydraulic Head". My truck will start on the first turn of the switch. That is just...

I would need someone I trusted there to verify it. Lets face it, your not the most "impartial" individual when it comes to anything I say. I believe you would do almost anything to try and prove me wrong especially since it was I who solved that HH problem after you argued with me for days...

So how are you proving this ? Have you actually "taken" out the pressure relief valve and seen pressure to the Hydraulic Head ? When I was making my own filter assembly and I removed the pressure relief valve I had "no" pressure to the HH. Did you have "gauges" on the engine verifying this...

No, that's not quite right. When I said the fuel meets up at the junction, I was referring to the "T" coming out of the filter housing. The pressure relief valve is "inside" the housing and exits to the ""T" where all the other lines converge. So you will have total circulation of the fuel...

Glad to hear it.

The in-tank pump can only reach between 10 and 12 PSI of pressure. The injection pumps "booster pump" supplies the main pressure in the deuce system. That is why you can actually get a deuce to run with a bad in-tank pump, as long as the fuel system has no leaks and sucks air. The "booster pump"...

If your pressure relief valve is stuck open (not partially open or sort of stuck open but stuck open) then you cannot build up any pressure. It would be physically impossible to do so. Your literally just opening a return valve to the fuel tank. This would be the last item I would check though...

What you need to do now is figure out where is the last place you have good fuel flow. So start at the fuel tank and go up the fuel line. Check the fuel/water filter. Run the intank pump and see what comes out. Then go to the booster pump on the injection pump. Remove the fuel line and run the...

Ain't that the truth ! :-D

Crappy fuel has been proven to be the major cause of the "button" coming loose. When you get gummy crappy fuel in the injection pump it causes the "button" to stick to the injection pump piston, and the "plunger" to stick in it's bore. Usually at the top of it's stroke. If the button is not...

I very seriously doubt the governor springs have anything to do with your issue here. It sounds like your fuel control valve is sticking due to gummy deposits from lack of fuel filtration. I've seen this happen before. The valve starts to get a little sticky and the governor springs cannot...
