I have a m35a2 that died going up a hill. Anyway after two weeks of headaches and a $600 trucking bill I got it home. We started working on it and found the fuel transfer pump was weak so I put on a new one. It still is doing the same thing it was before you can crank it and it dont hit any or even try to start...runs great with starting fluid (which I use very sparingly). I took out the injectors and hooked them up upside down and they spray so I have enough pressure to trip them. We talked to a few people we know all who work on diesels for a living. One was sure it was the auto timing advancement of the injection pump I took off the cover and the marks on the motor and the marks on the pump are close. I showed the stream of fuel to these guys after cranking it over and they thought it should run on that. One funny thing the weekend before this we got it to start and idle but no acceleration at all and a lot of white smoke (which means she is running lean)...Is it possiple that there is not enough pressure to run even if there is enough to trip the injectors or should I look at the timing closer? I found a spare parts injector pump so I am covered there i hope (code e model). Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? I might just have to get a whole new pump but at a grand I hate to do it so I want to see if it is something simple like the fuel desity valve or pressure regulator assy. or the little fuel pump on the side of the injection pump. (it is not something too simple checked the intake and exhaust for restrictions and have bled the lines well.) ONE INTERESTING THING IT HAS A LDT 1 C motor but no turbo what is the deal on that??? Thanks for any help this is sure a tricky deal!!!!
