hello everyone,
so i picked up a 75' 240d engine, number 616.011.0601, i got it without an oil pan and cams rusted as hell... once i cleaned everything up, adjusted the valves, put oil in it, solidified the glow circuit, filled the injection pump oil, hooked up a fuel supply, primed it, i tried to fire it up. it spins pretty strong, and sounds alright, but it doesnt even seem like its trying to fire. i dont have an exhaust or intake manifold on it, and i plugged the vacuum looking line that ran from the back of the injection pump to the intake (im guessing)
ive cracked the injector lines at the injectors to check for fuel and there was definitely fuel coming out
anyone have any thoughts? am i missing something obvious?
ive posted an identical thread in Diesel Discussion
Thanks in advance, Jack
