Pay attention!

Ha ha ha. I think you're barking up the wrong tree blaming the
batteries/electrical system.

As it starts just fine with the bank well depleted, and much faster with the
somewhat depleted new start battery (you DO know that all wet cells
self-discharge over time, right?). Batteries were arguably the problem,
along with the starter brushes; that's no longer a problem.


Don't blame the leak at the banjo bolt either. Blame the injector itself.
It's probably gone bad and is leaking down and too much raw diesel which
normally pressurizes the fuel system is flooding the cylinder, raising the
compression making it difficult for any battery to turn the piece of that
troublesome, crap diesel engine over.

Read for content, Wilbur. The banjo in question is at the injector PUMP,
not the return (the only banjo on the injector) line.

A leaking injector would not cause a drip at the banjo bolt on the pump. In
any case, at least as I understand injectors, because they require huge
pressure to discharge, and withstand huge compression pressures, it's
unlikely to leak there. MAYBE not fire cuz it's clogged - but not leak. In
any case, unless you're afflicted with CRS (not surprising at your age),
you'll recall these are new in the winter, so, unlikley to have suffered any
of those problems.
