new engine issue

[seabee mike]

I am searching and getting different info so I will ask here.
My 86 1009 with 41k on it starts up in the morning runs for a few seconds and sputters and dies. I crank it over for a few seconds or more and it will fire up but run rough for about 15 seconds like it is surging. once I blow the smoke out it runs fine the rest of the day. I figure I am getting air some where but I don't see a leak either. What do I need to look for? What are the rubber hoses to the injectors for ? Will a leak in them cause this problem?

I am due to move 1400 miles away in a few weeks and need to fix this issue..
Thank you.

May be leaky injectors or air in lines. What color smoke?

 

[seabee mike]

black smoke. I have never changed the fuel filter and it is looking very dirty and kind of oily.

 

[Keith_J]

The fuel filter or base is probably leaking. Oily filter should be bone dry.

 

[Skinny]

Sounds like bad injectors or a failing IP. Anyone else?

 

[seabee mike]

I will try new filter, plug the hold behind the sensor. That filter is the one i got with the truck from DRMO.

Well, black smoke is unburned fuel, how is your air filter? How is the glow plug system working? Could be you have more than one issue going on here. If it were mine, I would start by changing ALL the filters.

 

[seabee mike]

True. I will do that. I have fairly new glow plugs in it.

 

[seabee mike]

Why not just plug the fuel line that goes to the pressure sensor? Or does the that hole feed other areas of the system?

 

[seabee mike]

never mind i see it feeds 2 areas. the seals on the filter look very good and the sensor looked clean on the outside but the foam area was wet is that normal???

Not totally sure what you are looking at, can you post a pic?

Well Seabee from one Bee to another. I am so glad when I switched out that filter with a canister filter (spin on). So much easier to replace/bleed and not have it leaking. My opinion would be if you are changing the filter anyway then change it to a canister filter. My stock one started leaking not long after I replaced it so I then had to either find a new base or convert it.

And moving those miles leaves out GP and PH. You are not on Recruiting Duty now are you? Hope you have a fine Seabee Weekend. BUC retired

here is the foam part that was wet. not sure it means anything.

 

[seabee mike]

Well i did everything. its running but i will not know if it's fixed until it has sat a day. I did brake the top off the bleed screw. where do i find a new one?

 

[southdave]

Dude... If persists ... Check the return line on injection pump.. The whole glass ball thing.. Systoms sounds similar.. My two cents from another dumbass Seabee

 

[seabee mike]

the fix worked. sealing the pressure sender was the issue. thank you all.

Did you still need a new bleeder screw. Stumbles across my old filter base when I was cleaning out the garage.

 

[seabee mike]

I do.

 

[tbearatkin]

Message me your address and I will send it to you.
