T'were me, I'd pull the lines off the injectors and the fuel filter and haul the whole thing out.
Then you can pull the injectors also and have them tested.
That is the way I did it when I had mine overhauled. Remember to keep track of the timing mark when you remove the pump.
Thank you. Laying there under the galley sink I sorta came to that conclusion. Even trying to do it on the "exemplar" W50 I've got in my garage just wasn't an easily happening thing. Undo a couple line clamps and pull the whole shebang. Off to the shop with the injectors. Carefully inspect the lines and decide whether a new set is advisable.
The timing mark is crystal clear, perfectly lined up with the little arrow. No need to re-mark anything. It looks like it can only go one way.
Are there any issues with the glow plugs from Northwoods? Seems I recall a tiny difference in some (diameter . . . threads?) vs. the stock plugs that might cause problems.
Oooo. And I found three Jabsco impeller sets for the raw water in a pile 'o stuff in a tote the previous owner left. And a spanky new 2.3 gpm water pump, 2 1500 gph bilge pumps and a 500gph auto. Oh, and a pair of $200 snatch blocks that were never used. Treasure. NIB.
