good advice ... I have added it to my routine ... thanks

I also learned it preheated when in the start position here during this project... never knew that. just different than before is all...

it's just something i have never had to do living in FLA.

i do not ...i bought a manual on line but it's a far cry from a WSM if you casull share i would apprecate it for sure ...

Ican do that but i checked when i tore it down and looked further after the fact... wher can i find info on this spill test ? or is that a dealer thing ? thanks again for the info

how would one know how many are required ?

anyway .. I bled out all the air in the fuel system and installed the new glow plugs ...which ohmed exactly 1 ohm and she did start after a lot of smoke and spinning ...it was very noisy a lot of knock like to much advance in a gas engine (detonation) once it was up to speed sounded normal...

there were no shims under the injection pump ...is that odd? i read somewhere in the manual to keep track of them but found none.

''ok ... no one has worked on it but me ... i did read about injection pump timing and have considered it.. but doing one thing ata a time i'll look into spill timing if i can get info on it i did bleed it completely i did not have the injectors tested the machine shop said it was only 1000th...

well seems the glow plugs are bad ... they are all homing out at about 4 ohms it was a new set installed 4 months before the rebuild ..may have never been right lol i ordered a set of NGK's for it .....this time i'll check the ohm's before installing them the power to them cycles on at the...

interesting .... mine has niether ....

i replaced glow plugs i the process leading up to this rebuild ... but i cannot swear they are working .i'll try the test. is there a way to hot wire them ? just feed them 12 volts etc ? .thanks dave

she doesn't have a decompression knob that i'm aware of ... never used it if it does.

hi folks started a rebuild on my old 92 B7100 back in summer.... which was an adventure. i was having issues with it not starting unless i gave i small shot of ether...yeah i know bad bad ...lol only had to first start of the day and then she would start right up every time. but first start...

there was only 400 ..it got ran hot over the summer last year... didn't require much machine work just bead cleaned and polished... it was rings and guilds...
