1986 cat 416 backhoe cranks no start, definitely fuel related spray touch of ether just to see if it would fire off. I did just flushed All the lines. When I pump priming pump it looses prime til I crank it over again.
I’ll look tmrw, I work nights (well I am there lol) I know it says Delphi on the side.If this has a Stanadyne/RoosaMaster inj pump.. remove the fitting that’s screwed into the top cover on the pump & try to start it..
It’s working I was that these injectors need to be bled one at a time. I was trying to do them all at once and kept getting air in the priming pumpNever mind then.. Delphi pumps r different than Stanadyne pumps..
U could check the shut off solenoid ..
Ok I will have to get later on I work till 11. Sounds good Ty, I feel like a dope on the water separator I am not sure if I put it together right with the plastic cone shape thing that has the little separators that looks like it grabs the water. (Hopefully that makes sense.Post the #’s off the inj pump name plate..
DO NOT SCRAPE IT..
It’s a tin np and you’ll scratch the #’s right off of it..
If it’s a DP210 pump, the return fitting has a steel ball and spring in it.. what I think is happening is, your lifting the ball off its seat and it’s dumping the fuel back to the tank.?? And building back pressure by way of the supply pump when your cranking the engine..
If u were to remove the return fitting from the pump and look at the threads, it will show u if u have contaminated fuel.. the threads will be rusty..

The one on there is different from what I have. I will show you what the little screen looked like when I took it off. I can say that the past owner had the replace it. It is probably what was wrong with it when he replaced it. The water separator was full of garbage.That’s just a basic DPA..
Do a Google search for leaking throttle shaft..
It’ll show u how to get the top cover off.. u probably have a stuck metering valve.??
