But now it doesn't start since they took to nearby shop that was going to have injector pump rebuilt (maybe likely not the problem here) but didn't do as the vin didn't come up & they basically hadn't really touched anything. Had been listed at $10k I just bought for $5500 for this reason & trailered it & have just had a few minutes to try starting while somebody pumped on lifter pump until battery lost power. fuel filter is new. lifter pump seams clear & pumps diesel. but just getting started on this as I just got it trailered 3 days ago and need to get back up to it. Did notice that 60 amp glow plug fuse was blown but seems glow plugs only fire up at lower temps from what I've learned so far. there's a switch next to the switch that has engine with coil in it (some sort of engine heater) which seems to have something to do with glow plugs, but everything is in japanese. there is a 20A fuse for fuel pump (not blown) but I haven't been able to locate fuel pump yet from my 1st [pretty quick] go thru. is there an electronic fuel pump in tank that moves fuel up to lift pump? didn't see fuel pump anywhere along fuel lines from injector pump to lifter pump & back to top of fuel tank. Have not spotted wiring yet going to tank but need to look a bit more. Appreciate any suggestions!! Hope to get this ready for a few ski trips in the pacific northwest
