Trying to revive a Ford CM224 with the shibaura diesel engine. ( My disclaimer..I have not done a lot of work on diesels) It sat for 3-4 yrs after owner had a stroke but ran great up to that point.
Drained all the old fuel, fresh fuel, bleed the system. I have fuel at the injectors, however, I do not know if there is enough pressure. When lines are removed and engine cranked it only comes out 3-4". I know I have 1 bad glow plug by checking resistance.
Engine does not even attempt to start. I have tried a squirt of ether (yes I know it is very bad for small diesels but trying to troubleshoot here) and it didnt even try to take off. It is pulling air; if I place my hand over the air intake hose when cranking it collapses the hose.
Shut down was bypassed by previous owner, assuming the solenoid went bad, it has a pull cord on at this time.
Any thoughts? Bad injector pump? Bad injectors? I dont want to play the "change parts until it works" game
Thanks
