110 1983 county no start!

hey guys looks for some wisdom,
so i have just bought a 1983 110 non starter and i obv need to get it going,
a bolt on the fuel injector was missing so ive replaced that but just wondering if there was a list of things to check before i fire it up to hopefully ensure we get somewhere! there is oil+ water and diesel so got them covered but im unsure weather i have a 'stop solenoid' could one of you give me some info !!

thanks

Try and post a pic, if it has a turbo it is probably a 19j or a 200Tdi, AFAIK 2 I/4 diesel, as would have been fitted to a very early 110, never had turbo.

Either 2.5 litre engine would have a stop solenoid, I don't think 2 1/4 ever did.

Fuel filter, air filter and quality of fuel might be worth a look if solenoid doesn't deal. Tappets too,

here you go, looked in the usual place by the water pump for a code but nothing is there ;/ any ideas ?

19j. Code is probably on a flat at the top on side of block.

Certainty 100%!

It doesn't look very well maintained, watch out if it does start, you may not be able to turn it off!

Fuel? Is it years old? Doubt it will start on that, is so, drain it and refill with clean, change filters etc. Check for fuel at fuel pipe unions when you turn engine over on starter. You will need a good battery, we often tow with a tractor if stuff hasn't been started for years.

Check air filter and hoses for collapse, check tappets. If you have fuel, air and spins over well it pretty much has to start.

Maybe read up about them first, forum search is your friend.

when you say check the tappets do you mean the clearances on them?

Yes, and look for caps missing. etc at the same time.

is there a fuel stop solenoid on these ??

Yes, but if you do what I said, slacken an injector pipe and spin over, and there is fuel dripping, the solenoid is working. Tests everything in the fuel system at once.

okay cool thanks!!

sory last question are the glow plugs on an auto switch when yuo turn the key before you start the engine like on the later ones or it there a switch like on my lightweight

Turn the key up against the spring, the orange light should come on, count to twenty, then turn the key a little bit more to spin over.
Do not touch the throttle pedal at all during start up.

cool ta!

Remember what I said about forum search!

Much have you to learn about how to survive running/restoring a 19j!
