    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    I would plumb the fuel lines properly once you get it running. You can almost use anything that can move fuel through the system so it returns to the tank. I would not run the engine until after unhooking what you use to prime unless you have a check valve in line

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    I have 1 of these or similar that I added some push lock hose to and a guage to for checking fuel psi. Normally I put a fitting into the 2nd fuel filter ( which is after the fuel pump) and prime it until I get returns into the fuel tank

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    With the lower temperatures should generate smoke and with the minimal smoke coming from the stack in his videos is why I think he has a fuel problem. If there was plenty of fuel in the engine when he hit it with either it should have went ahead and kept running on diesel or at least tried to

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    I still think you have some sort of fuel issue. If for some reason you have gotten an air bubble in you fuel . Your tank is low it might be that or there is air introduced from the lines. I would losen the filters to see if they are full. Then I would prime it up from the secondary filter...

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    I would be careful with the either . You want to make sure you can crank it all out meaning you have a full charge in your batteries that if it doesn't start on the either you can get rid of it. You don't want to either lock it. I am not there but it sounds a little slow on cranking speed in...

    it is possible that low fuel psi will give you enough fuel to smoke good but not enough to start

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    Has it set for a while since starting last time? if you are not getting any smoke. First thing If no smoke I would check to make sure you kill is in the run position. If you get little or no smoke I would make sure you are your fuel is primed and make sure you get fuel PSI

    60 Series Detroit Diesel Help Needed

    Well we are talking pretty small moves in opening up the restricted fitting and yes once you reached a certain point you would be going backwards and loosing your fuel PSI . At the time the idea was to get more fuel passing through the head to help get cooler fuel because you start loosing...

    60 Series Detroit Diesel Help Needed

    You should check the fuel PSI; there is a restricted fitting in the back of the head. If the fuel psi is low; you may have to replace this. it is a specific size hole in the fitting to keep up the fuel psi. you can modify the size of the restriction to boost HP but if outside the range things go...
