Lost prime...

[Automobilist]

Access is from bedroom. Lift the bed, remove metal engine covers. When looking down on engine, you'll see rubber tube to the left (curb side). Remove that and disconnect electrical connection to disable grid intake heater. Then crank engine while spraying fluid into engine. It may take some time, as in a full can of fluid before engine catches and runs on it's own. Have full fire extinguisher at hand, mine caught fire a bit, nothing much though. Unfortunately, this is the only real way to start one of the non-primer motorhomes. Not a big deal though, once you get past the fear factor...

while cranking over engine find the nut holding the fuel-line to the injection pump. lossen to let out any air if there. do the same to all..i would not use starter fluid...could ruin engine if not used the right way...should be sprayed into air in-take and then only in small squirts..1 to 2 seconds...my book says 2 minutes cranking is okay if you allow the starter to cool...i think the fuel tank-level if low causes a problem..so i thought of a fuel pump but cannot get to fuel line..pressure in the tank goes out the over flow line so there would have to be some way to block and unblock that....so i'll just keep the tank topped off...for now...any other ideas?????

Wow.... just replaced the fuel filter / separator on my 2002 Alfa SeeYa... also a single filter setup with a 3126B. I filled the new filter with fresh diesel, screwed it on and cranked up the motor. About 45-60 seconds into running it had a bit of a stumble, but never stalled. After that, all good.

Hey nice to see a fellow rider in the forum nice. I also ride and do a little bit of ccs racing when I have the time, but do a few track days with team promotion, good luck out there. Joe

Hey let's hope we can run into each other and do a couple nice laps, if you ever see a brown discovery at the track just stop in and say hello, good luck and safe riding. Joe
