Hey everyone, it's been a while...for anyone who remembers I had the insanely long thread about my Case track loader not running:
https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/case-350-crawler-kicking-my-butt.77013/
Well it doesn't run again...and I'm looking for advice.
So I have a 1978 Case 350 track loader with a 188d diesel 4cyl and a roosa master injection pump. Last summer I had the pump rebuilt and the engine ran better than ever before, I put maybe 10 hours on the machine before I parked it in my pole barn for the winter. In November I ran some diesel 911 anti gel and stabilizer additive through the fuel system, parked it, drained any water, and then shut the fuel off (my downfall). In Jan we got about a foot of snow so I plugged the block heater in over night, then with the help of the intake heater I got the engine started and after a few seconds of running it died, like a moron, I forgot to turn the fuel back on and the fuel filters were now empty, I went back in the house in shame.
Now that it's warmer outside I filled and bled the filters, bled the feed line to the pump, and bled all four injector lines. I have fuel squirting out of all 4 lines but it again refuses to start. This is exactly what it was doing before I had the pump rebuilt.
So I'd like to get some opinions...did my rebuilt pump just take a crap again? When I reinstalled the pump from the shop I didn't even have to bleed the injectors, it fired right up as soon as there was fuel feeding into the pump.
It runs on ether, I had to try.
