I'm no diesel mechanic but I am a nut on routine maintenance,
like filter changing. I just replaced the 3 filters on my 1983
Westerbeke, 1 primary, 1 on the electric lift pump, and 1 in-line
filter before the injector pump. She'll run for 2-3 seconds and die. I'm sure air was introduced
but my manual says "no need to bleed" due to the electric lift
pump. Been changing these filters for 15 years the same way
and never bled anything. Don't really know the sequence
anyway. I tried opening the fuel cap to allow more air but that
didn't work. Would apppreciate any tips on where to look first. The lift pump
appears to work and "ticks" when key is turned. Fuel tank is 3/4
full. Glow plug solonoid also clicks and draws its usual amps. I'm kinda' stumped now...... Thanks guys....
