ok. I got the compression test out of the way... 480- to 505.. average across the board... sohere is my plan...change to another fuel filter... pull fuel out of a fresh can of diesel... to filter to pump.. and see whats what.I installed the lines that I received from burn your money.. reset the timing just to be sure set it at 96.and the engine still would not start till towed... I spent a about 30 minutes chatting with the guy that built the pump.. these are his Idea's.if this doesn't work.. he said to pull pump and bring it back to him and he will put it on the bench tester.having eliminated the compression. hopefully the pump, I will see if I didn't pick up some crap in the tank and clog the filter.if that is the case. I will rip out the fuel system and clean it out.thanks for the input... gps where never the issue .. took each out and tested each one... burned the crap out of my hand so they work..lolseemingly I believe now. its a fuel issue
well I changed every 5/16 and 1/2 inch fuel line with diesel rated lines.. did not get the new clear fuel line for the return.. not in stock locally and the ones I ordered have been put on back order.......
..... I have done all I am gonna do..I just want to drive it... sadly I can take any system from a C-130 disassemble and rebuild and re install but this little truck has me baffled...I just don't have the training and the time.. I leave for the Middle east and such within the next few weeks. so I have to change priorities I will post up what has gone on with the truck.thanks..Dan
