6.2 nerds wanted

Water seperator disconnected is fine, probably like you said, failed primary fuel pump. Electric will work just fine. I hope that's not a can of starting fluid on the fender, these engine do no like that.

Looks like WD-40 to me.

Can you fill the pump body with fuel to prime the pump? A dry lift pump won't do a whole lot.

Chris

no, its wd40. i heared not to use starting fluid, use wd40 on these. so thats what we used, we also heard about ATF. but that didnt work.

ya i was trying that as well, i put some fuel down the hose, and cranked it over, but it didnt work out, it worked good before, but idk. probly couldent get it to turn over fast enough

I've been told to use ATF to prime the pump, WD-40 as starting fluid. Can you remove the fuel return fitting and pour fuel in there until you know it's full?

Chris

ya, i think i can. its the hose fitting on top of the injecter pump right?

Dunno, I'm not terribly familiar with stanadyne pumps. It's the one that's not the fuel inlet. I just saw one on ebay, looks like return might be a nipple at the top of the pump.
Chris

I'm sure you already know this, but I thought I'd put it out there. A 6.2 will not start if the glow plugs aren't working. Of course you don't have to worry about that until the fuel delivery gets taken care of.

Good luck!

ya, speaking of glow plugs, i hooked them up becouse i was going to fire it up....just my luck they all went out....at the same time. i had them hooked up for umm maby at the most 8 seconds, turned over the motor, nothing, so i let it sit for a sec, go to hit the glow plugs, and nada. nothing, pulled one out, hooked it up, set it on the battery's ground, and it still wouldent turn on, so now i need to get a new set of glow plugs


ok, so check it out...so far ive had to replace
1. injecter pump
1. primary fuel pump
8. glow plugs

Make sure the controller for glow plugs is cycling correctly. Since all of the glow plugs went out, possible the controller was staying on too long and burnt them out.

i got rid of the controler, becouse i hooked it up, and found out the only wawy for it to work is to touch two wires to the positive, but it would keep cycling, and wouldent turn on right away once you un hooked the power. i still have the controller, do you know how to hook them up the right way? i was trying everything for a good 3 hours. i had the ground hooked up, the pink wire and yellow were the ones i had to put on the positive, and i had one wire left over and i have now clue where it goes.

so i just bypassed the controller, and within 8 seconds they were shot, and most people are saying hook them up for 10 to 15 seconds.
