Brian,

I hope you're right. Here's everything else I did last night. It ran fine beforehand.

I changed the secondary fuel filter.

I pulled all of the injectors and cleaned the nozzles.

And here's what I think you're driving at:

I did a compression check on cylinder number one to confirm the results I got a couple of weeks ago. It was still low, so I poured some oil (about a quarter ounce) into the injector hole to see if the compression improved. I also sprayed some brake cleaner into the prechambers to clean them out. I must have overdone it, and didn't wait long enough for it to evaporate. I suspect that there must have been fluid in the cylinders when I tried to crank it, and that I may have blown out the diaphram in the lift pump.

I pulled the lift pump, but don't know where the diaphram is. I need to take a step back before I make it worse.

I know I messed up, and am, to be perfectly honest, embarassed. I can understand people saying to themselves, "The idiot did it to himself, and now he has to suffer the consequences." I can only ask for mercy, and assure you and everyone else I learned my lesson -which I'm afraid will be an expensive one. Hopefully, the next guy can learn from my mistakes.

Thanks

Edit: I guess there's no diaphram. I'm just clueless.
