I inherited a ford 3000 from a friend that was moving and didnt want to deal with it.
The back story is his neighbor borrowed it and blew it up, neighbor found a good used engine and put it in. IT ran marginal for a while then started smoking and running rough and now it wont run at all.
It was very low on fuel so i added 5 gallons to the tank. Bleed out the system all the way to the injectors. I get fuel squirting out of all the injectors but not with as much force as i would think there should be. also getting fuel all the way to the tank return from the IP.
It spins over but doesn't even try to fire even with a "who cares at this point" shot of either.
anyone know where i can get a compression checking adapter for the ford 3000?
Im trying to save it from going to scrap but Its not making it easy on me. its very close to getting the torch.
I have a tractor wrecker willing to give me $1200 for it but its probobly worth more than that as prepared scrap.
