    If you have the cover off the IP it will not fill the top as its filled by the return line going into the top and if you crimp of restrict the return line it will not start. In fact if you ever have a problem and cant get the truck to shut off pinch the rubber line closed going into the pump...

    Deuce not recognized by traffic lights.

    Most usually get triggered by electric impulses a sensor wire detects when coming up to a light usually a square shaped spot in the middle of the lane with a wire sealed in by some kind of tar.

    The pink wire is 12 volts take it off the IP turn on the ignition and go over to the pump and touch the pink wire to the terminal you should hear a click. If that doesnt happen check th pink wire with a test light to make sure you have voltage if no voltage check your fuses if the fuses are OK...

    Your pink wire has no power its not letting fuel into the pump no click means the IP is shut off and will not work until the solenoid clicks when power is applied.

    IL Newcomer w/recently acquired bobbed deuce loves the BFT, but needs TLC

    If your leaking fuel off the pump take some brake cleaner and clean the pump real good then watch the HH where the injector lines come out you probably have a loose one. You bring up the RPMs while watching and I bet you have a loose injector line I barely felt the wrench move when I tighened...

    5 Ton Problems

    Sounds like the sprag engaged itself and the loss of power was the driveline binding on the hard road.

    1028 gen 1 light problems

    But would these suggestions cause an open circuit causing the gen light not to light up when turning the ignition on?
