This is a 1967 3500 tlb. It ran ok last fall until i changed the starter. The 'new' starter was a chinese gem, it had to be installed using a bar to force it away from the motor or the gears wouldn't engage. Turns over no problem.
Here's the history on this. It won't even 'fire' with ether, doesn't even try.
I have had the injectors checked, they are ok. I checked the compression and with 300 minimum they were all ok.
There is fuel getting to the injectors, it comes out in pulses. With increased throttle the pulses get longer. I have not checked the pressure output of the injector pump.
I do not know how long the engine has to be turned over for fuel to get to the injectors, they were pretty much dry when I put them back in.
I am not sure if the fuel getting to the injectors is sufficient, as I say it comes out in pulses, probably 1/2 inch long at full throttle.
I have one fuel line on the pump that is leaking, I don't believe this could cause this issue, I could be wrong.
What really confuses me is that even with ether it doesn't pop at all. I don't use a lot of ether when I use it, I've used it before and had no issue.
I am not sure if bleeding the fuel lines again would help or if loosening a return line would help.
I have not taken the inspection plate off of the injector pump (SIMS), even then I wouldn't be totally sure what I would look for.
The loader frame adds another dimension to this issue.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
