Blowing raw fuel out after cold start is the symptom for glow plugs
not working or not used on prechamber engines. No mystery why they wouldn't start. That said the NA 3.3 was too small for the fullsize truck-unless you never need to go over 50 mph as was the case for some in-town vocational trucks. Many medium duty straight trucks were sold with four cylinder Cumminses and three or four cylinder Detroits which wouldn't do 55 mph with a van body up through the late sixties or early seventies. Many bread vans with gas engines wouldn't either. Had they used the turbo engine performance would have bettered the /6 which admittedly isn't saying much... Properly used these are remarkable powerplants, but they are 200 CID...not 400. |
