Good luck on your trip. Capt.

Thanks for the input. We JUST got it running. We went through 3 1/2 gallons of diesel to get both engines primed. Almost following your steps verbatim. Lesson learned. Don't trust someone else's diagrams...trust the ones that I make. The diagrams for the ball valves are all a complete mirror image. UGH. That is why I drew in air. I saw my starboard tank was almost empty so I switched to the port tank....when in reality it was really all wrong. Oh well. I am headed home in a few. Wish me luck. 20-25 mph constant winds today out here. Lots of white caps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Perry & Cindi Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 12:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UnifliteWorld] Re: Stuck in Poulsbo Assuming he has 671's tell him to hand fill his primary and secondary filters, a must. After he does that, take the fuel line of the fuel filter that goes to the head (the filter on the engine) ( I believe it is the line on the right side of the filter housing. Take a paper coffee cup with fuel in it and fill the fuel line, it will take 2-4 tablespoons of fuel. Put the line back on the filter housing and crank the engine for 4-8 seconds. If it does not start, repeat the procedure. It may take up to 4 or 5 times and the engine will start.

You mean the salesman didn't tell the truth? I have twin VT555 Cummins "triple nickles" and did get them to restart pretty quickly. Sounds like I was lucky. I think I will go look for the priming pump............ By the way, Kerry (stuck in Pouslbo) has Detroit's No virus found in this incoming message.
