    Hard to start. White smoke.

    Yep it's sucking alright but I won't give up until I find out why. My Kubota needs the glow plugs ignited shortly even if it's 100 degrees outside or 10 below 0 but it fires right up and is ready to go. My Ford 6.7 fires right up no matter the temp and all you have to do is look at it and it...

    Hard to start. White smoke.

    Timing is by the book. It's losing prime over a period of time. If I bleed it after it sets for a few days it starts easy and runs smooth from the beginning. If I let it set for 2 or 3 days it starts and dies immediately then has to be cranked for a bit to go again and when it does start it...

    TL140 injector pump

    Is there an easier way to remove the sixth bolt that mounts the pump that comes in from the other side? I have removed the other 5 and the bracket bolt and have yet discovered how to get to this thing. The only way I can even see it is with a light and a properly placed mirror and I can't even...
