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.

I think some people put pressure guages before and after the fuel filter.
You would know what the pressure is when starting and if the fuel filter is
getting clogged.



I have vacuum guages on the suction side of my Racors to provide a
warning if they are starting to load up.

Everything looks normal there.
