3b injection pump - no fuel at injections

[mikeyee]

Can I ask for your help?
Working on a bj60 with a 3b. Replaced the diaphragm, drained the fuel tank, drained the separator, replaced and filled the fuel filter, replaced the primer pump. Opened the inspection port on the injection pump to confirm that the fuel rail moves, pumped the primer pump, drained the injection pump.
Disconnected the EDIC push rod.
Still no fuel at injectors.
Do you have a suggestion?.

You really don't see much fuel at the injectors at cranking speed.. and certainly none with just the primer pump. If you've got it primed to the fuel filter then close it all up, light up those glow plugs and try starting the engine - reheat the glows if its been cranking for more than 5 seconds, they cool off quickly.

Been a few years since I've owned a 3bt.
If memory serves me there should be a 10mm fitting on top of the filter housing.
Crack this fitting and prime until you see clear fuel.
Otherwise, have someone turn the key while you prime. Use preheat.
You might have to keep a battery charger handy in worst case.
Otherwise pull glow plugs to help lessen compression while spinning the engine.
Then there is the old pull me with key on and in gear method....depending on where you live!
