almost an ut-oh
So today, i finally deccided to put on a new secondary fuel filter, seeing as mine had been leaking since i installed it. i think it was a defect. so i put the new filter on and primed it and was trying to start it, and then on one try, the starter would not turn, it just made a click. This freaked me out seeing as i just burned out a starter 4 months ago. luckly i think the new starter has some kind of thing in it wear it stops turning after it gets so hot. so after waiting for 10 mins and like freaking out, it started to turn over agian and finally started.... what a trying day heh.

I suspect you did not prime your filter completely. You have to push fuel through it until you hear it purge out of the IJP.

I saw a tip on here of filling the filter before putting it on. I tried it with my '77, which is curiously lacking a primer pump. It started right up.

Although I've never really delved into the diesel engine beyond filter changes and priming, they seem really simple to maintain. My car had not run for 4 yrs, rod thru the block. Swapped the engine, did the drip timing thing on the IP, while I was at it loosened the remaining 4 injector fittings on he IP, changed filters and hand primed, then cranked until fuel flowed form all IP ports. Tightened all down and finished assy, left lines loose @ injectors, cranked again until fuel @ injectors. Tightened, cranked 1.5 turns and fired off like it ran yesterday.......Jus' brings tears to your eyes.....don't it?
