ok just got back. I couldn't get it to start. Here is what I did:
1. Drained oil and replaced with Synthetic. ( It only had about 6 quarts including filter)
not my fault my brother in law has been "taking care of it" for a few years now.
Nice work *****!
2. New Oill Filter
3. Both batteries tested at 11.9 volts
4. Added Anti freeze ( 6 quarts low )
5. Attempted 20 degree start after 1 hour with block heater ...No go
6. . Tried again with a two battery jump. No go but higher rpm
7. *** Note the wts light just flases for a second and the the clicking begins for 25-30 seconds....two clicks per second.
8. Tried jumping the gpr and seemed to work (I saw sparks)
9. Immediately tried to start.....got it to pop but still no go
10 * Interesting Note* After jumping the gpr , the wait to start light now comes on and stays lit for about 10 seconds with no clicking. still wont start
11. Interesting Note #2 I am unable to get spark jumping the gpr now. It seems I may have fried something.
12. Water in fuel light is on. Drained some fuel from the fuel filter pet ****
13. Visually inspected the glow plug connectors and noticed a few have a dark brown burn type ring around the connector.
Plans for tomorrow:
1. Test and Replace Glow plugs
2. Test and replace gpr if toast
3. Replace all gp connectors
4. check fuel shutoff solenoid Where is it and how do I test it???
5. Clean Battery terminals and ground connection
ALL ADVICE, COMMENTS WELCOME .....THANKS IN ADVANCE
