szafram Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Does anybody have any ideas on how to easily prime the fuel system on a 76 CF600? I've got fuel to the exit of the pump, but the injector lines are full of air. I also think my hand priming pump is frozen...I've tried cranking it over a bunch, but I still can't get all the air out and get it to fire. I can crack one of the injectors loose at the engine, but the other 5 are a pain to reach without taking tons of things off the engine...

fxfymn Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Fill the filters with clean fuel. Than you can get it to start by spraying oil based WD-40 into the air intake until it picks up the fuel. Do not use ether. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

szafram Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ok, I will try that. The filters are full, so hopefully it doesn't take long to fire up. Thanks for the help!

TozziWelding Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Fill the filters, and while someone cranks it for you crack an injector or 6 to get the air out, usually if you can get one to get fuel and she lights up on one the rest follow shortly.

szafram Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ok, if the WD40 doesn't work, I'll try that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30400-priming-the-fuel-system-76-cf600/#findComment-171968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
