We just completed the installation of a rebuilt D239 engine (from Broken Tractor) into our TD8E (Serial Number 4420016U083049*). At first we could not start the engine. It acted as if it was not getting fuel. After what we thought was purging air from the fuel system we were able to start the engine 1 time - the first and only time. It ran for a little less than 60 seconds. It ran at high RPM and was stopped by choking off the air intake. We can not get the engine started again. Despite repeating our air purging, the engine acts as if it is not getting fuel. Injectors are clean and we have verified that the pump is getting fuel to the injectors by disconnecting fuel line from each injector and observing high pressure squirts of fuel.
The fuel pump (Bosch VA4/10H 1250CR90) was operating without problem on the previous engine before engine replacement.
We have spent a lot of time trying to get this dozer running and at this point are really stuck, running out of good weather, and the winter paddocks for the cows need work before we have to pull them in off pasture. We would really appreciate some help.
