I’m seriously closing in on my first start attempt. Today i started testing. The engine turns over, and the fuel pump runs. Those are the good news.
The fuel accumulator return line has a massive leak. I remember the hose being on the big side, and an optimistic attempt by me to compensate by frenetically tightening the hose clamp. It looks swell, but doesn’t hold the fuel in. A minor leak at the filter too, but tightening the nut might have done the trick.
I’m gonna try to find a proper hose for the accumulator, and see if there’s a way to break the stuck injectors fee.
I have 1-2 semi decent looking spare injectors lying around, and I’ll test them with some carb cleaner and compressed air.
Maybe I should verify spark at the plugs too, before trying to start.
Exciting times still!
