the injectors are cooled with diesel so the pump will put out more

than the fire needs. if it wont start right off after you remount a

filter, crack the lines at the injectors. turn it over untill it

messes up and sprays no air than snug them and start. with it

running, crack one open at a time and tighten it for good.

if the genset is way dry it wont hurt to presoak the fuel line atop

of the injector with a bit of PBblaster overnight. I presoak all

projects so I wont be able to tell you if it helps.



I add a mix of 50/50 diesel/atf in the filter to clean the

injectors. I dont like to put injector cleaner solvents in the tank

in fear that it will clean the tank pushing crap at the filter.
