Default Detroit Diesel (DD671N) Questions

Wayne, when the engine is in the "hard to start condition", and then it
finally starts, does it do so on all cylinders, or does it go thru a
period where only 1, 2, 3, etc cylinders are firing for a while before
all 6 finally kick in? This could indicate a very slow leak between the
injection pump and the injectors.


Usually you can hear one or two kick a couple of times and then they
all light up a second or two later.

On a DD671 there is no central injection pump. Each cylinder has its
own driven by the cam as I understand it.
