I removed the center plug again, and tried to push down with a rod. I can move the rod about 1/8" against what seems to be spring pressure. It will push down then springs back up again. Is this normal? I don't know if it is at the bottom of the stroke or not; I'm trying to do this by myself...
We have a multifuel, non-turbo that simply won't start. I get plenty of fuel to the injector pump (in-tank pump works fine), checked the fuel shut off lever under the pump cover (everythine is fine there), and removed the plug from the center of the hydraulic head. With the plug removed, I get...
I'll look in to the cost of this. I know quite a few diesel techs that can probably help us out. Another thing I was wondering...Since this is a NA engine, it has a muffler mounted under the chassis. From the muffler, the exhaust comes back up to a stack like the turbo versions. Any chance...

We have a deuce with a Hercules non-turbo multifuel. This truck has been getting short on power, and hard starting for a few months. Idles rough, and sometimes wants to die at idle. Since it's used as a grass fire truck, it doesn't get alot of use until the spring. We changed the fuel filters...
