DISCLAIMER: IN NO WAY A MECHANIC. Working on my first vehicle Sputters/surges and dies, my thoughts are air leak Suddenly dies?? Trying to trouble shoot no start myself. Had issue where I had issues with sputtering when giving it gas or after it started and found a clogged filter was the...

PS: I rode my bike through clovis. Stopped by joes boot shop. You ever see a crew of about 45 guys on bicycles during the summer come through?

What does it do if you just let it sit after starting it up and do not give it gas?

HOLY Thread resurrection batman. I have had a long gap in getting to work on my truck. Quick summary of the process for those who do not want to read through everything. Driving down road on WMO/WVO after warming on diesel. Suddenly shut off after running about 5 min on alt fuel. Shut of...

beautiful man; contrats!

Thanks ranch. Big help. Out of curiousity (and attempts to better understand the system) how does clamping the return specifically cause the motor to cut out? Is it causing too muc back pressure? Or other method such as too much fuel and too little air? Found this....I got some reading to do...

Thanks for the input rick. I have not pulled the oil fill yet so I am not sure if I have a broken shaft. I was going based on not getting fuel to the pump rather than not getting it out, but that is a good thought. I am going to do as much reading as I can on the actual pump. I did not check...

Thanks for the input and reminder. As soon as I can get back to working on things I will let everyone know how my progress goes. Fortunately/unfortunately I am going away for two weeks. If anyone has other info in the mean time, let me know.

I do tend to bounce around on things, you the right. I do believe that I have a touch of ADHD. That said, I installed the waste oil system myself and it I complex. I have read most of the toubleshootin for the FM 20. Maybe clarifying my thought process on things and how I got to this point...

Going to have to try to get some clear fuel line. I do know for sure that there is fuel coming up through the lift pump to the injector pump. There is a splice between 2 pieces of black fuel line at the top of the engine where I disconnected things. From there it is about 1 foot of black fuel...

Ok done. To summarize. Lift pump is working. Solenoid (after a good cleaning) is clicking with both jumper from battery and with key in on position and wire touching it. Injector pump was pretty much drained empty. Cranked for aprx 30 seconds in 10 second bursts. No sputter or turn over.

Ranch, I want to make sure I am hearing you correctly. My pink wire seems like it has power enough since it is lighting up a dash light that is on 2 wires as a tester. My solenoid, while functioning on 12 volts is going bad because the power that I am getting through the pink wire is not...

Quite possible Southdave. I hope my system gets it hot enough to increase the viscosity though. Runs with 4 different heat exchangers to bring it up to temp (one in accessory tank. Radiator hose running over fuel line from tank, through heated fuel filter then lastly through 10 plate flat...

THANKS. Solenoid is not clicking., interestingly though not bad. Ran a jumper from the battery to the internal wire of the solenoid and got a click and movement. Touched the terminal outside and got nothing. Only once did I get a click. Going to try cleaning the spade terminal and see what...

Thanks everyone. IP cover off. Drained. Not filling back up. Lift pump is working and building head of pressure. Not getting fuel into the injector pump for some reason. Gotta figure that part out. This is my first time working on a vehicle in general. Lots to learn.

Correct me if I am wrong. If the lift pump is bad then there should have been an empty injector pump when I opened her up. Am I correct?

Looking into the IP from above (after cleaning out the fuel) there are no black pieces in the bottom as detailed in this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/74031-out-ideas-no-start-m1008.html . There was indeed an aluminum tag with the letter E stamped on it on the back screw closest to...

Ok a few updates: Attempted to start it up without luck. Did not crack the fuel input at the cylinder because was not sure if that was the correct place to do it so I opened the IP. It was full of fuel and had a little bit leak out when was opening it. More like run out. Attempted to start...

I have been doing a lot of reading and wanted to make sure I was thinking correct before I start to tear into something that is expensive. I was driving my m1009 down the interstate the other day after having driven aprx 80 miles over the past year. It started up like it usually does....SLOW...
