Yup your right I pulled them out, right again I don't know what I'm doing with diesels. I am judging horrible by the amount of carbon and debris that's built up surrounding the nipple on the bottom of the injector. Listen, do you know how I learned to fix things? I tear things appart and learn from experience. Am I going to screw this injector up by tearing it appart and hosing it down inside and out with brake clean? Probally, but I will learn a lesson either way. I'm not gonna buy a non running 1985 tractor to look at, I also did not buy it cause it's all I could afford. I bought it to learn more about diesels and try to better understand the trouble shooting part of diagnosis on a Diesel engine. Will I send it out to be rebuilt? Yes I will if I have to. Or buy new. Will I pull the pump and have it rebuilt? Yes if I have to. Or buy new. But before that happens I will tear it appart and learn better what makes it work. I will clean the injectors best I can and do a pressure test on them to find out what pressure they open, what the spray pattern is, and if they leak under pressure. But that's before I reinstall them, then I will move on to a compression check, possibally a leak down test before I touch the head on this engine. Yes I did give it a quick shot of ether with the old glow plugs in, no change except it rolled over harder.
You obviously have a lot more experience than I do with these engines, but how did you get experience? You tore stuff appart and learned.





The needle was gummed inside the injector to the point I had to work it out of there with brake clean and moving it back and forth. The video and info I have gathered seems to point to that needle having free movement with the injector disassembled. I will disassemble all these injectors and brake clean every hole and orfice I can get to. Then put them back together

If you can't appreciete the efforts of a person trying to do the best they can and learning then you and I will not see eye to eye on this matter. But don't get obnoxious with me while I am trying to figure this stuff out.
