its a 51 oilburner
its just had the glow plugs done but still lazy to start in mornin,
turn key on and off 2 times sometimes 3 to start .
now when hot 2nd go it starts.
im going to put a non return valve in the line near injector pump to start with.
local garage said about putting a facet pump in line as well he thinks theres a bit of run back um.
its also got a bit of hunt on tick over does point to starvation me thinks.
just spent a lot of cash on it gear box oils bushes 2 new air springs etc
some injector pumps have a built in lift pump dont no if these have or not?
have checked for lose fittings pulling air etc once started she runs well.
money now gettin thin so need sensible awnsers
ie not go buy new pump nano com and spend ten million on it
 
Have you checked the spilloff pipes from the injectors they can cause run back and cheep to do:) and can give you problems starting

There is a built in pump in the fip but there is an in tank pump which can cause problems.
the britpart pump is about 50 quid but not very reliable so spend about 140 quid if you need a new one . look at wammers how to to check the pump
 
im going for a facet pump
place in bristol does um derv application
dam good price to
 
For what they cost worth doing just to rule them out, if letting air in fule will run back and engine will need a bit of cranking to get going.
 
facet are the best electric fuel pumps
landrover would of used the cheapest **** they could fit
 
Mine will start on 1 cycle of the glow plugs but if I give it 2 it is almost instantaneous. However, I know I have a) a tired FIP and b) a calcium battery that is a bit much for my 13.8V alternator.
 
no if pump weak supply and demand air leak
but live in hope will report back
be like sucking a golf ball through a hose pipe
 
are glo plugs all off same wire in other words if there is power to one theres power to um all
 
I would just change the spill pipes cost me £4 i had the same symptoms lazy to start when left overnight but better if it had been recently run and its been fine since starts on first turn now
