I'm going to go check the rockers now. i will do what you said bashby. i hope it starts.

 

I dont think these have adjustable rockers, you just tighten them down all the way... over or under tightening them would not cause a no start.

 

OK still no start. it will fire then die i can do that for hours but wont stay running.
i need help

things i have done
have fuel a filter
return line free
power at fuel shut-off

 

did you get the timing marks lined up properly like the article explains?
what did the po use for a replacement ip? used or rebuilt?
did you measure the amount of fuel coming from the valve on the fuel filter head while cranking?
it takes roughly two full 15 second cranks (with a 2 minute cool down period in between) to fill a completely empty IP with a fully restored starting system,and this is with an e-pump so that fuel has already filled the fuel filter.

if she's now firing,then she's getting fuel,but probably not enough.either the lift pump,or ip may be your suspects.

 

i have the timing marks all good checked three times. he put a new ip on. what is the psi for the mechanical fuel pump. i will go look at that now. i will post when i get back

 

less then 10psi at schraeder valve is that all it is suppose to have???

 

Can the ip have gone out when trying to get fuel to the injectors

 

Mech pump pressure is ony like 5 psi or so.

 

Did you loosen the line at the injectors to bleed the air? When I do it I get no leakage at first then som bubbles and when all the air is out it will shoot small spurts of fuel onto the hood... you can tell its under high pressure. loosening 1/4 to 1/2 turn should be plenty.

 

Update.. it is alive
returnline was not hook to the right spot it was dead heading it. after taking it to the shop it cost me a load of wood that i will get from the guy i got the truck from. just in time for the snow thanks for all the help
