Hi everyone, I am trying to get a cat D6D sn 04x started that has sat for a while. The previous owner said the engine was loosing power and so he parked it. It has only sat for a few years inside. I disconnected and blew air through the fuel line and replaced the filters. There is a good supply of fuel to the pump and I have bled the air out. I also took the side cover off the pump (0R0908) to verify that the metering sleeves and rack were not stuck. Everything looked great.
It will crank and fire but it doesnt get much further than that. It will sort of halfway try to run but it never gets on top of itself. It acts like it is fighting itself. It smokes black when it begins to fire/ halfway run. I gave it a little ether hoping that would help it get going but it doesnt help. I have the air cleaner assembly off and the intake in the head is open.
It has good fuel pressure and the oil pressure begins to raise but it doesnt build past the red zone while cranking. Im honestly beginning to wonder if it spun a bearing or something.
Does anyone have any last suggestions before I start tearing into it further?
Thank you!!
