6.2 won't start
After repairing the injection pump cover (thanks for the help), I tried to start the engine today. I ran a fuel line with priming bulb from the lift pump to a container of fresh diesel. I bled the air out of the square filter in the firewall. I have one injector line disconnected, and only a drop or two of fuel has dripped out during about five minutes of cranking. Both batteries are new and charged, and I was using jumper cables to my car to keep the batteries charged. This truck has not run since before the motor was rebuilt about 5 years ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Robert

I bought a terminal but decided to leave it alone for the night. I'll start again in the morning when there is light outside.

Repaired terminal. tried starting again for over 5 minutes. No luck. checked that glow plugs were working. injector pump is getting power while starting. How can I tell if injector pump is bad?

working on it.
when I got this engine back from machine shop, it came with boxes of parts, some mine, some not, some missing. So this has been a big jigsaw puzzle for me (without having a picture to go by.)
I just realized that the injector return line is not installed. would that keep it from running?
