Hi All, I have resolved the excessive fuel problem and the motor ran great.NOW the no oil light goes on, restarting the motor resets it and the alarm may not go on for hours.The clear oil lines from the oil injector are solid with oil with no air pockets, So I had an opportunity to replace the oil pressure sending unit but it has had no different effect.After shutting down the motor and at restart the problem seems to be corrected.But, The NO OIL light is starting to occur more frequently .I can not help but think that I have inadvertently may have caused this in finding and replacing the lift pump diaphragm .An excessive amount of fuel was pulled thru the lift pump pulse line into cylinder #1. This is the same cylinder the oil pump pulse line is attached ( could fuel have entered the oil pump and ruined it ?)Also in thinking that the motor was getting excessive oil I tested the return line by crimping it both before the oil pressure valve and after it (could that have caused the valves failure). The frustrating part in all of this is that this motor runs great.As always any help in this would be greatly appreciated,Thank you,Dino
Hi all,just to conclude this post.I had to also replace the oil pump.How ironic that both the fuel lift pump and the oil pump had diaphragms that were torn within two days apart.Thanks, Dino
