I got my injectors tested. They were all about 220 bar or 3200psi. it does run a lot better with the Fuel turned up a bit. Starts a little easier but mainly it feels better when driving. I don't feel like I have to wring the motor out as bad. No black smoke but more of a light to medium gray...

Thanks I have been wanting a boost gauge anyway just for my ocd.

I was just thinking, could this be a symptom of a bad or stuck fdc?

No, you're thinking of the right one. It's only supposed to be out an eight of an inch. I adjusted it back to an eight and it wouldn't even start with the pedal to the floor. So I put it back to where it was and then went out another 6 flats. At that point it would attempt to start without any...

OK. Update #2. I checked my droop screw and found about a half an inch of threads hanging out. Got things to do right now but I'll post back later.

OK. I may have narrowed down my starting problem but I'll let the experts decide. I decided to change my filters again just to be sure. Primed the system, and it still started the same way. Took it out for a spin and noticed no difference. However, this time when I parked it I shut the engine...

That's impressive. If I can get even close to that I'd be happy.

Is there a range of psi where they are considered OK or should they pop at 3k and no less? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. I just tried letting the pump run for a minute before starting. I had the hold the pedal down as always when cranking to start but it didn't run as rough when it first starts as it usually does. I'm still going to get the injectors tested when I get time. I'll be sure...

I would say mine starts a bit harder than yours. I have to crank and play with the pedal quite a bit. I know its getting fuel because smoke is coming out of the stack the whole time. That combined with gimpyrobs suggestion now has me leaning towards injector pressures.

Just got it in may. Replaced filters and fuel pump. I have been thinking about having the injectors tested. Didn't realize that they were adjustable.

I've seen different ideas on how easily these engines start. I've seen some videos of some pretty remarkable cold starts but also heard of some elaborate starting rituals to get them going. Mine starts good when the wheather is warm and always fires right up when the engine is already warm. But...
