Engines / Lister lt1 fuel problem
« on: May 10, 2020, 04:57:05 PM »
Hi Guys and Gals
After some help please! I have bought another project, another dumper fitted with a Lister LT1 engine, I cranked the engine over after unseizing the gearbox selector and it spun freely but would not start. I removed the injector and attached and turned the injector around as well as the pipe to see if it was atomising the fuel, no joy, took the injector home and watched a YouTube video on how to free the pintle with a drill and all was good, went back down to the dumper and attached the injector with the same set up and still no joy, I put my finger over the delivery pipe and cranked it and there seems to be good delivery pressure from the pump as the diesel squirts out with my finger over the end, restripped the injector and when I put fluid down the pintle pushes it out the jets.
Now here's the weird part, I took the injector up to a road roller I have with a lister ac1 and attached it to that and the fuel could be seen atomising as it should!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ian
