This whole time he suspected the Injector Pump ,

My Deisel Mechanic is knowledgeable , talented , and Psychotic ... a few years back had a similar fuel issue. Fuel (lift) pump was suspected villain. When he told me the problem he mentioned sourcing one in Vermont for like a hundred fifty bucks , I told him to buy and install it as the...

It Lives !

Okay ... the Diesel RUNS !!! , Contaminated Fuel (again) ... need a better tank cap plus battery and tires , also a trip to the body shop to straighten slight bend in the axle ... (been down so long that it looks like up to me ...)

Thnx

Sadly , not yet ... Quit working on it for now. Will R&R the Solenoid , not sure if I want to deal with taking apart the stuff in the way or have mechanic do it. Can only be that or the injection pump so start small. Mechanic has been super booked anyways plus I'm burning waste on current job...

Bought new in 1997 , original wiring mostly ... all it takes is vibrations wearing insulation for a short. Solid wire or Braided both can eventually weaken and break

Before I replace ... just dug out my volt ohm meter to test voltage while still installed , apparently a bad or unintentional ground can make it not function. So I'll rule out wiring or fix it if it is.

Plan to make sure I have new one and just R & R

Yes , watched a few vids and I'm pretty sure the fuel cut off Solenoid is my next move. Seems they can break several ways mechanically and electrically. Can pass voltage and even make the click sound but still not allow motor to run.

Fuel is all the way to the pump and beyond , yes fiiler full ...nothing at the injectors. Will try to check the little Solenoid next to the pump I guess

When it quit the motor went from full throttle to nothing ... As if I had pushed the fuel cuttoff lever

Thanks , quite sure there's no Priming Pump (two Cylinder). The question in my mind is , could the Solenoid have worn out and quit in the cut off all fuel position ?? Fuel Pump appears to function normal ...

Other way around , the lever is springed in run position. To kill the motor idle down then depress lever and hold for a few seconds,

Seemingly No .... not exactly sure how the Solenoid/ Lever cutoff works as the fuel pump is mechanical

Smaller Air Cooled Diesel , Zero Priming Pump , Zero Oil Pressure Bypass. There is a fuel cut off lever for shut downs. Have gone through fuel system to purge any air from several points. Fuel all the way , but not at the injectors

So the lever goes to a Solenoid ? There's a little one next to the fuel pump. Wonder how to check it's function , override it ( disconnect) and try again ?

Fuel cuttoff was a little sticky , hit it with powerlube ... Not completely sure it isn't the problem

Won't run ... Fuel , gone through whole system , suspect the air injection pump. Anyone ever replace ?
