Hi there folks!
I m not that experienced in repairing, maintaining, and the operation of heavy equipment. So please excuse my ignorance when I ask the question I m about to pose.
I have a 1980 CASE 880 excavator. I believe it has the A336BDT diesel engine. It hasn t been run in 5 or 6 years. I attempted to start it today. I wasn t successful but I was encouraged that the engine wasn t stuck from sitting all those years.
I don t think it was getting any fuel. There were no telltale signs of combustion. The fuel shutoff was in its proper open position. The former owner used to spray ether to get it started.
There is an ether injection cartridge in the engine compartment. It appears old and disconnected. Part number 9 in the Cold Weather Starting diagram is a jet. Wherever the jet used to go is where I need to spray the ether?
My question is where the hell do I spray the ether? I ve attached photos from the parts manual showing the air cleaner, ether injection and intake manifold exploded views to help figure this out.
Any feedback very much welcome!
