Ford 1715 - 3 cylinder diesel

[theoldwizard1]

Helping a friend with a Ford 1715 (Shibaura ?) 3 cylinder diesel.

While chasing another problem, we dropped the water separator bowl. Of course that put air into the fuel system. We were able to bleed #1 and #2 at the injector, but we can not get #3 to work (clearly NOT injecting as cracking the fuel line does NOT cause RPM to drop).

When we crack the fuel line at the injector, there appears to be tiny air bubbles coming out there. Repeated this 3 or 4 times with no difference.

Could the injector be clogged requiring it be removed and cleaned ?

The injector won't work if there's air in the line. You proved that there is. Keep bleeding until you don't see any bubbles.

If u still have any questions about the injector, swap it to another hole..
