Banjo bolts. I didn't take them out, just loosened them to see / bleed air. Anyway, it looks like it's just dripping... much more volume from bottom banjo than top. So I think the IP is not pumping.
I pulled the IP timing inspection cover late yesterday. The rubber seal is in the process of crumbling. Didn't really see any pieces of rubber inside there but the pump was full of diesel that all poured out when I pulled the cover. With the amount of trash that's now in the "bowl", I'm pretty convinced I need to pull the IP just to clean all that crud out (some of which is most likely rust) so it doesn't screw the internals of my IP.
Probably while I have it out I was thinking about putting a rebuild kit into it and replace the old style / rubber weight retainer with the new steel one (reading up this weekend on this). I've found the kit with or without the pilot bushing but no clue where to find the new style weight retainer. Getting into territory I've never been when it comes to taking apart an IP but willing to give it a try. With the condition of the inspection cover seal, I gotta believe that the other seals and O-rings in the IP are also in pretty bad shape too.
I will look at that fuel shut off closer. I need to pull the wire off the lever just so I can see what's supposed to be moved by the solenoid. For the life of me, I can't see anything down in there that that arm on the solenoid can be touching / moving. I have verified that the solenoid does work - watched it move the arm with the cover off.
Thank you guys for all your help! If anyone knows how to get the new style - steel weight retainer, please let me know.
One other question: I keep seeing references to DB2 and DB4 IPs on the web. Mine is marked DBMFC433-1LK. Is that a DB2 or a DB4?
