Yuma and I were up at 8 o'clock to another warm sunny day. Near 80 again. After breakfast, I didn't do much except enjoy the morning sun with Yuma.
I finally decided to try and start the engine, around noon. I turned the key, but it would not start.
I shot a squirt of ether in the air intake and it started. Hopefully, after driving it for 50 miles or so, the injectors will clean out. Dean recommended putting Diesel Fuel Supplement in the tank for a bit and hopefully, the white smoke disappears. I'll believe it when I see it. Can't hurt.
I have a few things to fix before taking it out on a test drive, so I'm thinking Friday will be the day.
Kay had to take Gary to a doctor appointment this afternoon, so I kept Alma company till they returned at 5:30. I then went down and picked up the Jeep that now has all new brakes all the way around. Not cheap and only the pads were covered under warranty.
Tomorrow is a getting the White Lion ready to roll day. Thanks for stopping by.
Good to hear the MH started again. It sounds like you had a pretty laid back day. At least you can enjoy the warm days. Yuma looks happy.
ReplyDeleteI hope the ether is temporary. Was a slow day, but I needed it..
DeleteI loved your picture from yesterday with Yuma and Buddy pooped out from playing. Beautiful puppies. Looks like Yuma is still resting!
ReplyDeleteThat Yuma thinks he is still young out racing that young Buddy.
DeleteHope you have towing insurance, just in case! Fingers crossed it runs just fine.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck.

At one time all Diesel Engines used Ether before starting, Newer Diesels, require time for the Glow Plugs to warm up (Thirty Seconds) before starting, Give that a try before you exercise the engine.
ReplyDeleteGood Sam's Roadside Assistance is not that expensive, and even covers Canada, or Coach Net.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I don't think my 1999 cat 3126 engine has glow plugs
DeleteFingers crossed! Get some rest, cooling down a bit here.
ReplyDeleteHere too. Lots of rain last night.
DeleteGood luck WL! You can do it!!! ❤️
