Just bought this Ford 2000 3 cyl Diesel. Had 2200 hrs on the proofmeter but looking at the steering linkage and foot pedals says that the engine hourmeter had rolled at least once. Looking at the oil pan seal and exhaust manifold bolt keepers told me that someone had been into the engine. Doing some mowing and everything is fine. Purring along at pto speed (1600) and all of a sudden the engine starts to miss, then it surged above set pto. Did this a few times and I immediately headed for the house doing the same as we went. Got to the shop and killed it. Checked fuel in tank > 1/4. Had put fuel filter in 10 or so hours ago. Checked fuel at pump inlet....had it. Guess I have to do a pump overhaul. Will mess around some more this morning to try and see what else I can learn; like loosen the plate on the side of the pump and crack the injector nuts and see if there is fuel when I crank. I'll even get out my new shop manual recently purchased here, and hit the "troubleshooting" section. What makes me think it is the pump is the surging. If it was fuel starved, and saw a fresh batch before it died (from lack thereof) I would think it would return to governor set rpm's, not surge 200-300 above. Opinions, experiences, requested. Thanks, Mark

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
