[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 1504, member: 82"] Welcome to the forum. The first thing you MUST do is re-connect and change the fuel filter! Any small particles or water that get into your injector pump will stuff it up quickly. I am un-sure if perkins engines have glow plugs, have a look on the head, if they are there i would add a switch to turn them on manually. With a unit of this age i would doubt it would have automatic pre-heat, the *43 series were the last series before they intergrated electronics into the units so an automatic anything would be doubtfull. Also, i would change the engine oil and filter and the hydraulic filter too. Then you know where you are at. Also check the air filter. If you can live with the rear main seal leakage i would leave it alone, as you will need to remove the engine to do that one..... [/QUOTE]
