...but DAMN I'M GOOD!
My 1990 F350 7.3 Diesel was getting hard to start. It acted like an injector was leaking, but once running was just the same as always.
I was told how to test the glow plugs, and that they were the most likely cause.
Yesterday AM I tried starting and the starter slowed down and stopped. I thought SURE it was hydraulic locked.
Anyway I spent several hours today checking stuff. I found one bad glow plug, and one unplugged??? Got that all fixed up, but still no starter turn.
So one new starter, and lots of cussing later, it starts better than it has since I've owned it!!!
A VERY nice shower later, I went back out a little while ago, hit the switch and it's running almost before it's even possible! YEEHAA!
I still don't like doing it, but am very happy when a plan comes together!
Light related: I probably should have had my headband and Madmax mini to use. But instead I used a crummy 2D I keep in the garage to see down into 55 gallon drums. As it was, I had to do one bolt by the sense of smell, cause I damn sure couldn't SEE it!
