Turbo Spins with easy. Question: if the oil is Bad/needs to be changed, wouldn't it still start? I don't know thats why I'm asking. I'm going to pull the new CPS and get another one and change the oil tomorrow. It's been raining for what seems like the last week and I'm just tired of working in it. Hope it stops tomorrow after work. thanks again.

Problem Fixed!!!! Yea, I have my "Beast" back. It turns out it was a combination of two things. First the Screen in the Fuel Bowl was dirty, I mean "REALLY" dirty. I removed the two 10mm bolts and was able to pull the fuel regulator away enough to clean the screen real good. I drained the fuel (smelled like lacquer sp? ) New fuel and lucas fuel treatment, put it all back together and it fired up and runs like a Beast! Also did a Oil change, cause ya, 5k is a little much. Thanks for all your help guys and yes the key to my problem was the no smoke/no diesel smell at the tail pipe when cranking.

Glad you got it fixed. I figured that the screen would be part of the problem...
