Thanks for all the help and clearing up that my 1980 TD is non-turbo that helps. Have checked the glow plugs all working, would a vacuum leak cause the engine not to start? Thought I read some place this would cause it not shut off? Best I can tell the tan part on top of the IP is for trans. shifting, if I pull a vac. on the top line it holds vac. till the linkage is moved and looks correct to me? The fuel cut off on the back of the IP will not hold a vac. with the hand pump. Any easy way to check if the pump is pumping? Will not give up was running to well !!!!!
