Re: [MBZ] 190D fuel primer pump
Gene drove from his place in Des Moines to Jefferson yesterday (about an hour) in his pickup, dragged his brother's race trailer home (another hour), and hauled the 190D back to Jefferson (another hour) so Jeff, his older brother and mechanic extraordinary, could work on the problem. Jeff did exactly what I told Gene to do and what others suggested -- crack the injector line and crank until you get fuel. Problem solved within ten minutes and the 190D took Gene back to Des Moines this afternoon.

Univ of Pittsburgh School of Medicine [EMAIL PROTECTED] Comment from the cheap seats: If it were a VW diesel, crack the union nuts at the injectors. Crank until fuel appears at the loose nuts, usually one by one. It won't take long. Tighten them. Engine should start quickly. The first diesel VW's had a hand primer pumps (one model year, I think). After that they don't. Above is procedure from Bentley Manual. It works.

Re: [MBZ] 190D fuel primer pump
I now (after a LONG cranking session once before) loosen the injector lines at the injectors, have someone else crank while I watch, and tighten the lines as they start to leak fuel - it re-fills the lines MUCH faster than just cranking -- On 9/13/07, Jim Cathey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Brother-in-law let his 190D run out of fuel.

I used my 'clean' grease gun to force-prime my 190D after the injection pump removal.
