fed up of the crap weather stopping me sorting her out so i got this huge gazebo today and put the priming bulb on her found that the new copper washers on the pump end of the feed line from the filter was leaking slightly so renewed them again and rechecked everywhere for any signs of leaks didn't find any so tried starting her but could only start her on easy start so took her for a run to the petrol station and put £20 in to see if that will help just been back out to see if she will start when she is cold and she did so hopefully she will start in the morning
Do the glow plugs actually work?
yep
have you pulled out each one to check it glows?
i dont understand how it cant prime with easy-start but not by cranking.
i'm guessing you meant this..i think its a combination of low battery power & the speed of cranking the easy-start gives it.
yes thats what i meant.
because....
The nova was designed to be self priming, hence why id didn't have a hand prime pump on it. The injection pump includes a lift pump for this very reason.
i've solved it finally after getting my new 'garage' i set about rechecking everything and put the old glow plugs back in and she fired up with 2 cranks so now i will be getting a refund on the new glowplugs and sourcing some better ones. the ones that have caused all this headache are motorcraft ones from ebay they lasted 150 - 200 miles.
cheers for all the help guys really appreciated just hope i can be of this much help to you all at somepoint
