now I have a chance to prove you guys can teach a monkey to start a 240.

Here's the plan for this week.

The story on this creature is that it ran then it just wouldn't start one day. There was no report of it running poorly but the origin of the stories is suspect to deceit. Like all used car sellers are honest.

It has come to me that the miracle oil and seafoam baths have freed the rings enough to get the engine to run on short blast of WD40. I'm assuming the compression and timing are likely pretty good. "?"

1. Check glow plugs' wire end for power and listen to the relay for click on and off after a reasonable time. Won't this tell me if the GP relay is working?

2. Pull glow plugs and glow them with a 12V battery. To see if they really get hot.

3. Clean fuel in gallon jug with hose to lift pump. Won't this tell me if the lines, tank or primer pump are causing the problem?

If that don't start it

2. Pull hose off fuel filter coming from lift pump. Won't this tell me if the lift pump is working?

3. Break the line at the injectors and see if fuel is getting through the IP.

You guys know I'm a rookie with these machines so any involvement here is appreciated.
