D'oh! I'm trigger happy and ordered oem before I saw your message.

This is the first time the engine has started since rebuild. I figure the next start will require much less glowing.

Glow plugs are newish. I have no heater so no winter driving.

Just needed to glow and crank longer. Glowed for 25 seconds. Will R&R the handpump in the winter.

Went out at lunch to try it. Annnnd...

I've ordered a new handpump. Youtube videos show guys pumping and no fluid leaks. So I'd rather have a new unit to at least eliminate one suspect component. I'll try to start it again this w/e. (Busy tomorrow). I've been following the manual to bleed it so hopefully if I glow for a while she'll...

I had cracked the injectors and had son crank the engine the other day. No fuel came out. No glowing - I just wanted to bleed the system. To me the pump is primed now. Do I crank it like crazy and let the pump do its job? I don't wanna burn out the starter.

The return goes to the front of the pump. I pulled 30 inHg of vacuum (the max the MityVac will go) on 2 lines. Let it sit for several minutes. Not a drop of fuel came up. I took the bleed screw completely off the pump and drained fuel out to start from scratch. I pumped it about 6 or 7 times...

Yeah hard to get a good seal on the nipple. I'll let you know how it goes on the fuel lines. Thanks for the manual. That is very helpful for a diesel newb like me.

Thanks for the response. I checked multiple years and models of Landys with 3Bs. 22501-77021 is the part number on all of them. I assume I need the gasket spring and valve as well. Gasket at least?

Thanks for the response. I too have the choke cable hack to the fuel shut-off. I assume if the fuel is getting to the pump that the filter upstream is full. It took several pumps initially to get any suction. Now it fires out the bleed screw like a rocket. I was gonna hook up a Mity-Vac brake...

Thread revival. Does anyone have the secret to get fuel up to the injectors? I opened the bleed on the pump hsg and pumped the primer until it sprayed out. The hand pump leaked like crazy but I screwed it back in and closed the bleeder. The pump should be air free. I cracked the lines at the...

No worries. Thanks for the engagement.

Well. The lower mounting hole on the starter is stripped. Figured I may as well replace it but I agree it's not a good way to troubleshoot. I'll tap a new hole but will still eventually get another unit. I like to have spares. The relay is the later BJ60 part and crazy expensive. Figured I get...
