International 434 diesel problems Help please

[Corey]

I have a International b434 that I am restoring and I have come to the time to for it to be fired up. but for some reason I can get diesel to the pump but not to the injectors it just will not go to them for some reason it ran a year ago when I Parked it up for restoration but now it won’t go I changed the lift pump and two diesel pipes and have bleeded the air out but it will not go to the injectors so if you could help me that would be very appreciated thanks

Have you slackened the injector pipes off as well ...to enable full / thorough bleeding ?

Yeah I slackened two of them off

Slack all the pipes off at the injectors until they are all squirting then do a couple up.
If they don't squirt, you have a pump problem.

Is it a CAV/DPA rotary type pump? If so, there's two bleed nipples on pump itself, bleed the bottom one first so that a constant stream of fuel come out, then the upper one - this is usually best done with the engine cranking rather than by priming with the lift pump as the CAB injection pumps have a boost pump in the back. Slacken all the pipes at the injectors & crank the engine until fluid comes from all the pipes.

The piston in the pump could be stuck if it’s seen any sort of moisture or the metering valve. Move the pull to stop back and forth a few times whike tapping the pump body with a rubber mallet then try cranking it over while again tapping the rear of pump between the delivery ports. It’s not ideal if it’s had some moisture but some you win some you’ll loose.
