No fuel

Sorry again Ha.... I interpreted your statements as Dieseltech did too.

No problem. I appreciate all the help I can get. I haven't been on here in awhile and I'm not use to the new format yet plus I didn't have coffee yet. I probably should check the return too. I really need to clean it up first and I'm not that ambitious yet.

Dieseltech? Could the "metering valve" be stuck in the off position? Is that something Ollie could check on?

Yes, metering valve could be stuck. If engine has not run awhile the rotor plungers could be stuck too, which requires a tear down and cleaning to free them up again. I have two pumps apart now with stuck plungers in for repair.

It's probably time for a rebuild. Probably above my pay grade and don't know if I can afford to have it done at the moment.

Oddly it only sat a few months this time and ran good when I parked it. The throttle response had been sluggish a few years ago but started running better.

They are really easy to do cost around 25 to 40 dollars for the seal kit on the internet.
The only difficult thing is to remove the cam advance pin.
I have grinded a torx socket and used an impact wrench on it (small battery one). Works all the time.
Instaling the ring is also a frustrating experience at first,but you will succeed
It takes much longer to clean every parts than to actually do the job.

Thank you. I have watched several videos and probably could do it but I have a tendency to tear stuff apart and not finish it. I bought a seal kit for a different pump several years ago and still haven't fixed it..I have thousands of dollars in parts of tractors I haven't finished. Just lost interest I guess.

Another update. The disc was starting to disintegrate but the main problems is the plungers were stuck among other things. It's starting to varnish up inside. I do run fuel conditioner and try to start them every 3-4 months. Odd thing is a started using standyne conditioner last winter. I used power services before.
