Final problem Bosch VE

#1

Post by michael3006 »

I have had a great run out of my 1985 Nissan sd23.
But as many are finding out parts are gettin scarce. I think I need a new Bosch VE rotary inj pump.
I recently began to have starting problems. Replaced glows and they were all burned out. Then burned out again, so I by passed the glow timer circuit cause it was staying on too long and burning the plugs out.
Had the compression checked all 4 in the 126 range so all good as far as I can tell.
But still hard to start, I can tow start it in a very short distance but cranking engine for ages just will not make it run.
The local mechanic who did the compression test says it is most likely the inj pump.
I have posted a WTB in the right section here.
But I am open to suggestions.
