Don't know if you viewed my video but it seems I have a problem with it wanting to run away instead of starving for fuel and dieing.


Barry123400: Yes, it was running wvo for a few months but not for a very long time. I really don't want to accept that the IP is gone. I will try to rebuild the lift pump and make sure that its ok. Then I will try some adjustments to the IP before giving up on the IP itself.

A month or so ago the engine would barely run and by cracking the lines at the injectors determine that #3 and #5 were not functioning at idle. After the MMO treatment they are now working as the video shows. I've got to get to the bottom of these problems and I'm not going to buy a rebuilt IP. I'll rebuild it myself if necessary even if I don't know how yet.

Any idea as to why the engine wants to run away like that? That has got to be something stuck in the IP because the linkage is fine. Could it be something to do with the fact the ALDA linkage inside was messed with by pulling it up previously?

I'll try the straight diesel in the can and see what it does now. If I can get this thing to run normally I'll run it on the 50/50 mix if I have to.

As per the video, any comment on my intake setup?

Thanks for your feedback.
