    Still no power

    I pulled the lines at starting at the tank to see where I started to have problems. Finally when i got to the line that goes into the secondary filter I was able to catch the fuel well enough that I could let it run. And it started out strong and then just dwindeled to very little flow. I...

    I changed them when I couldn't get fuel. I did not take pictures, but they were not good.

    One of the first things that I did was pull the in tank pump, I seem to have a lot of problems with the in tank pump. I put it in a bucket of water and plugged it in. It pumped the water out. Maybe this is not the proper way to check it. I do have anouther pump that the bottom fell off of...

    I changed the Filters and the in tank pump is pumping. I did not get anything to come out of the secondary filters bleeder. And I am not getting any fuel out of the line going to the injectors. It ran one day just fine and then when I came back it would not start. I am thinking that it could...

    I did not see the screw when I looked. I am able to get the rpm's since I bypassed the fdc.

    I turned the pump on today and with the bleeder on the secondary I was able to get fuel out of the bleeder, but I do not see that the line has all the air out of it. 2 things that I was thinking. 1. could my secondary filters be clogged enough that it does not let fuel by. It ran fine the last...

    I have not followed the bleeding istructions in the TM's. I always thought that the in tank pump would bleed the system.

    New problem, it started to not want to start right away. I changed the primary filter to see if that would help. When I did that the in tank pump did not seem to fill the primary filter. I took the fuel line off at the in tank pump, and fuel came right out. I took the filter back off and...

    I went to the big car auction in Pierce, Ne. Saturday. I got a late start but I was hoping to get the top gear guys to put General Granite on tv again. unfortunately I got there to late for that. The nice thing about that is I was able to park right next to the cars and I didn't even have to...

    I do not have a boost gauge yet. I took it for another run today. Going into the wind I was still able to 1900 rpm like yesterday. But coming back with the wind I was able to do 2200 rpm. I feathered it and went down a long hill, it was not a very big hill but a hill none the less. There is...

    So why would I still get high egt's in 5th by 1900 rpm, but the other gears I can get to full rpm?

    I bypassed the FDC today. Big difference in acceleration in gears 1 threw 4. Temps seamed lower. 5th gear I was able to get to 1900 rpm before I hit temps. I used very little pedal to do this. I am going to have to turn the fuel down a little.

    Can you put a screw in the empty hole? It looks like it has threads.

    I turned my fuel down as far as I could and then back up 2 flats. It was completely gutless, very quiet, but still smoked a lot. So I went to try and adjust the smoke screw. But I could not find it. What models have a smoke screw and how do I tell?

    I just changed the oil last week and I could not smell any gas, diesel, or wvo in the oil. So if the fdc is not putting fuel into the crank case then what is the advantage to bypassing it?

    I drove it for a long time on the non turbo setting after I added the turbo. I have slowly lost power ever since I got it. I am starting to lose oil out of the bell housing after a long trip. 50 miles or so. It is usually about an 6 inch circle on the driveway.

    I added 5 more gallons of gas and 7 more gallons of diesel to the mix to get to arcadia, Ne to get it ready for a parade tomorrow. There are a lot of hill in that neck of the plains. It did ok on the paved hills, but no better then it did before. The hills on the gravel roads were a different...
