so i finally got my build together and was ready to fire it up today,i hooked up my hand vacuum pump to #4 inj. hose and pulled a vauccum until i had fuel coming out, then did the same thing on the return line out of my IP,
i pulled vacuum pump, and hooked on to oil pump and spun it until i had oil in head and new turbo, put it all back in, let the glow plugs do their thing and fired her up, cranked for about 15-20 sec then fired up, ran for about 15 sec, started missing and then died even with foot to floor, started it up again, same thing!
this went on for about 30 min. and i keep getting air bubbles in feed line from fuel filter, does this sound like why it is dying? all the air bubbles? i turned the fuel up a turn and it ran for about 30-45 sec this time then died, but it will not stay running no matter what i tried. any ideas? i think its all the air bubbles but they wouldnt seem to bleed off. any help appreciated. thanks! i will update my build thread soon.
