I think one connector is bigger than the other, compressed gas comes in from one and liquid exits from the other connector.was wondering that. Flow can go both ways?
more speed .....Cowboy !Wrench a bit faster they are waiting for you !

...would check the glow plug relay... may be you need a new one.Trying to get the mock motor to fire up. Dropped a battery in, wired starter, and click! No go. Added a ground from engine to frame. Click. Wired starter directly to starter. Click. Pulled starter. 24v . Oops. Pulled starter and compared to Old Landy’s H started. Exact except mating surface, larger than 2H BH opening. . Going to take starter to local alternator place to see if they can rewire it to 12v.
We are not doing a glow plug relay system. We are doing a Wilson switch....would check the glow plug relay... may be you need a new one.
Great lessons learned. Taking the starter in tomorrow to get it checked out and converted to 12v. Battery has 1000 CCA. Fires up my HJ60 just fine.Something I learnt during the past few weeks, which may just apply.
Dagha Boy's battery went missing at the shop that was supposed to finish the build and did not. They replaced the battery. I bled the engine for first start after rebuild with the glow plugs out. Engine turned beautifully and bled quickly and easily. Replaced the glow plugs and glowed them thoroughly to test the indicator on the dash, and then accidently turned the key to start and she fired up almost instantaneously. Made me very happy.
but I found afterwards that if I did not glow the engine to within an inch of its life, the starter motor just made a grinding growling noise and would not spin the engine to start it even if it was hot from driving. It had to be thoroughly glowed and start instantaneously or no go.
Starter motor problem... But it too was completely overhauled. Got the sparky in. He listened. Took a look at the battery and pointed out that although the battery was the right size in dimensions, in capacity it is smaller and does not provide sufficient cranking amps to spin the engine enough for anything but an instant start.
Moral of the story, check your cranking amps on your battery.
Another caution ... Replace the wiring part of your ignition switch. When they get old and worn a short develops in the off position which activates the glow plug relay. You don't know it but it just happens one day and you end up with a flat battery and melted glow plugs stuck in your cylinder head. It is not expensive, just replace it and avoid future troubles.
I also found I had to run a new ground wire from the frame to the starter and glow plug relays where they are mounted on the fire wall at the passenger's feet. In my case that was needed because the coatings insulated them and the ground provided by the fasteners and capture nuts was simply not enough. Easy fix.
Looking good. Have fun.
This must have had another reason on your car.......but I found afterwards that if I did not glow the engine to within an inch of its life, the starter motor just made a grinding growling noise and would not spin the engine to start it even if it was hot from driving. It had to be thoroughly glowed and start instantaneously or no go.
