Finally, I think I got it. . It fired RIGHT up this morning. Oo. Oo. This you won't believe, yesterday I discovered I had failed to put the gasket back on the banjo bolt! when I added the fuel gauge. Once I put it back on, the o'l geaser has stated 1st time for three consecutive times. When...

willys,yes it quit running when this problem started,about two weeks before. in the past have bouth fuel lines replaced,and the returne replaced about six months ago. the rod that is driven by the cam,was locked up on the lift pump i removed.

yesterday,finally got lift pump on,got truck started,(finally)drove truck 10 miles ran fine,started fine this morning,moved it 30 ft,died,wouldn't start. did the pump on lift punp,finally started,moved it back,died again. didnt try it anymore. is there an air leak or is lift pump going south?

finally got the lift pump off yesterday,found what looks like cast iron in prescreen. anyone have any ideas where this could have came from. i say cast iron beacuse of the dark color and it sticks to a magnet. should i drain the tank(full ofcourse) or will the fuel filter take care of it?

Thanks Everyone,not Working Today,removing The Lift Pump Today If Rain Stops.
