Well look on the bright side of this whole debacle. You know how to "primary time" and install your injection pump correctly on your Deuces diesel engine !!! This is also a warning to all others who don't have a working fuel tank pump. Don't lose "prime" !

No kidding !!!

You didn't even get a hint of firing off with the ether ? That would of course bypass all the fuel and pump issues. You said this truck ran fine before you took off the injection pump. That's true correct ? Any engine would fire off a little with ether. That would mean you have some other major...

First off the Deuce is a 4 stroke engine not a 2 stroke. Now about the valves. What I would do if you have an extra pair of eyes is to look at the valves. First the "exhaust valve" will open than the "intake valve" will open. When it (the intake valve) is fully closed your almost at Top Dead...

So you do have fuel flow through the injection pump now ? Good. That takes care of the fuel supply issue. Now we need to look at the timing part. Diesel engines are really fussy about proper timing unlike gasoline engines which can operate on a wide range of timing. So first off let's make sure...

OK. The whole thing with the air now proves you should have flow through the injection pump. What does that mean ? Well it means since you had it running before you "fixed" the booster pump, you basically did something wrong in rebuilding it. There are several little washers and springs and such...

If you had someone to help by engaging the starter, you could determine if you indeed do have flow through the high side. Apply air to that port I showed you in the picture, and with the injector lines off you will feel a pulse of air (at the steel line) every time the injection pump rotates...

First off, you might not get any air coming out the pressure lines ( steel lines going to the injectors) if the "fuel plunger" ( the rod/piston in the center of the Hydraulic Head) is at the top of it's bore. That is why I said to check the low pressure side of the pump. Does any air come out...

So you didn't touch anything on the injection pump itself ? You just replaced the booster pump seal correct ? This truck ran fine before, correct ? Just trying to find a starting point here. I would try and put air pressure to the injection pumps inlet and make sure air is coming out the pumps...

I wish I could find an aluminum tank. Though I need two and the cost would be sky high ! I probably could have two stainless steel tanks made for the cost of factory aluminum ones . I actually have used the method you mentioned "cattlerepairmen" . It was a common practice back in the day to...

Yeah, you don't want to add another fuel exit on the tank ! Though pressurizing the tank is a good way to find rusted out areas. ;)

If you lost "prime" you will not start. Since your in-tank pump does not work you will need to "manually" prime your fuel system. You can use another pump to try and prime the system. You will know when you have enough fuel when you see it coming out the injection pump hose return. Or the fuel...
