Started out the Spring with a seized injector pump. Finally got that rebuilt, reinstalled, fuel now getting to the injectors, but engine still won't start.
Pulled out the injectors, had them tested - injectors are fine. So now the mechanic wants to test compression but can't find his tester for our 40 year old engine.
Anybody got one or know someone who does in the mid-Chesapeake region?
Incidentally, the engine ran great before any of this. The primary (Racor) filter was absolutely filthy when replaced. Previous owner apparently had neglected it. Haven't noticed any water in the fuel but there is a fair amount of sludge in bottom of the water separator cup, and some more evident in the cylinders when I pulled the injectors.
Here we are with half the season gone, staring down a lost year. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
