I didn't realise until tonight, but its exactly 9 months since I started pulling the 200tdi out for the conversion. A lot longer than I expected, but then I ended up doing a lot more work than planned.

I think he was pointing out that youve dragged out the starting process...

There are people on this forum who have mangaged to get them to start out of the vehicle without a fuel system attached, thats how much these engines love to go...

what did you do to offend yours?

Ah! you can't fool me.

You fellows had it going, way before and you were fishing for bites on the computer while enjoying a beer.

Any way, what's next?

You tell me? As I said in earlier posts, could not for the life of me get the injector pump to send fuel up to the injectors, no matter what I did. To the point where I was beginning to think that there was a blockage somewhere.

not unusual for IP not to allow fuel past the check valve if its been parked for some time.cant think of the correct name for the check valve on top of the plunger [segment-element??]--the ingector line attaches to the pump.

I have a 3 cyl chinese diesel with bosch pumps that will missfire all day but slightly move it as it goes into the pump[remove the clamp bolt] and away it goes.

inline-bosch-zexel pumps with the mechanical lift pump often have drama with the lift valves and prime pump-the old rodeo with a strainer on top of the engine mount......but iv had no luck adding an electric pump.i have now a good supply of pre pump strainers and have not copared life span yet but i like the steel wool strainer or john deer use.

in the inline pump on the outlet is a pressure releif valve--a few times i thown these across the floor and felt better when looking for the bits.you thunk tat if fuel is returning to the tank then it should go.

I ran into a issue with a potential carree move at work explaining to a learned gent that the loss of power and runout of fuel issue he had was very basic stuff that any moron could expect to occure-that he had over expectation of the system and after he finished making a mess he should clean up----i didnt get the promotion.
