New to TD6
New User
Hi, I'm new to this forum and am looking for a little advice. I recently bought a 1964 IH TD6 series 62. It runs and drives, but it lopes at idle. I showed this to one of my friends who knows a bit about diesels and he thought it might be a misfire caused by a bad injector. He suggested I start up the engine and feel the exhaust to see if one of the cylinders was not firing. There was one that wasn't getting as hot as fast as the others so I think I have found the issue. And just to verify that it was the injector, I moved it to another location to see if it made that cylinder not fire. The misfire moved with the injector.
The injector has the part number IH 310389R1. I found a few places that look like they sell used injectors, but I dont know what condition they will show up in. Is there a way I can check to verify that this injector is indeed bad? They injector looks fine, what could be wrong with it? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
