Hello forum,

I've got a 200D here that has sat for 12 years. Now it finally started to deliver fuel to the injectors, but when it finally starts, it quickly dies again, after a few revolutions.

I have video of it, and i would appreciate any help and ideas of what could be wrong.

Thanks in advance, and greetings from germany,

Oh and I forgot to mention:
-Diesel pre and main filter are new,
-oil is new
-Clear diesel lines replaced, hence no visible air in the diesel system
-I freed the IP up with some rust easer, because it was stuck

What i haven't done yet:
-Adjusted the valves (they were all more or less in spec, so I will adjust them once I get/make the special wrenches). But i think if this would be the problem, it woudn't even start a little, right?
-Adjusted the injection timing. Does the same apply as with valve clearance above?
