Detroit Diesel (DD671N) Questions
Wow!! This goes on and on.
As most everyone has said the most likely culprit is fuel system related. In my experience air leaks are very rare except when the engines have been recently serviced. If this started after servicing the fuel filters an air leak is very probable. Injector tips are another possibility. BTW, injector timing is critical to a DDA running well. You should probably invest the few dollars for a timing gage. If you own the engines for a while you'll need one. These engines are so simple and easy to work on that you would do well to take a course on them. You could learn everything you'd ever need to know in about a 40 hour course. That would include a complete teardown and reassembly phase with a tune up. IMO, these are wonderful engines for the DIY inclined owner. Butch "Larry" wrote in message ...
