I am non turbo. I only turned it up one flat. And she couldn't have melted down because i never went over 30 mph. The truck died while at an idle

She shook like it sucked air and died. Thus truck has never had a problem like thus ever before. She has always ran great

No smoke from tailpipe while cranking at all. Which this truck normally does while cranking. Maybe i turned it down? You are suppose to turn the screw clock wise right

you didn't answer to most important question yet.did you bottom the screw out?
also,why did you turn the fuel up a whole flat on an n/a engine? did you install a pyro gauge first?
you didn't answer all bashby's questions either.

Yes it cranks fine. She was running smooth just as before until it shook fir a second and then died. The tan is 100% full as i filled it before i left. There is no smoke from the tailpipe while cranking at all. I did not bottom it out as i am aware. All I know is i turned it just a little not until it stopped

On this truck the pyro was not currently installed. I was going to go to my friends shop and drill my exhaust manifold there

how long did it take to start back up after you turned the fuel up?
after that,how long did it run for until she stalled out?
did you check to see if you have fuel at the valve yet?
how long have you cranked so far to try and re-prime the system?
do you have power at the fss still?

I have lots of pressure out of my shredder valve. I have cranked 5 10 second cycles and a man just tried to pull start me and nothing happened

Didn't put gas in it did ya?

It sounds like you purged any air to the filter, so crack a few inj lines loose (5/8" or 16mm wrench) then crank it to see if it spurts fuel out. !/2 turn should be plenty loose.
