Sorry P.E.H. for being too vague.
The starter does crank the engine at the same speed as before.
The battery was showing 25.6 and rising today at my local Autozone.
The engine does not fire at all. There is no smoke when I try to crank the engine now. However, I tested all five new glowplugs and all of them are good. Two were bad before so I decided to replace them all.
There is no air in the filters, however, today I did hear a squeaking sound when I operated the hand pump. I have ordered a new one, should be here by wednesday.
Today, I have also noticed that the ends of the overlflow tubes were wet and cracked. When I pulled the overflow tube off of the #1 injecter to replace it(only have 1 foot of proper size tubing) there was no fuel that came spilling out. I put the end of the #1 over flow tube in a bottle of diesel and operated the hand pump. Fuel came out after about ten strokes. Then the fuel in the bottle was sucked back up into the system. Put the #5 overflow tube in the bottle, no fuel came spilling out and the same thing happened. I will replace the rest with new rubber lines tonight. I do know that the fuel system is pressurized so I hope this is normal.
There was hardly any fuel in the cigar hose(as fuel coming out) when I took it off at one end. I pumped the hand pump several times and only small squirts of fuel were coming out. Is this normal?
I have an automatic transmission, so roll(push) starting is not an option.
