T273 fuel/ignition problem?

[dday88]

Im having an issue when I turn the key on my 273 to the pre heat position the glow plug indicator is not lighting up and I get a constant clicking noise from my fuel pump. I looked all over for any exposed wires or shorts and most everything is in split loom or very well covered in electrical tape, but i did find a nice wear mark on a hydro line where it was rubbing on the fire wall.

Check the battery ground at the chasis and check the battery terminals for corrosion.

T273s and 293s are known for shorts to ground where the dash board/ignition harness passes through the firewall. My 293 kept blowing the turn signal/emergency flasher fuse. A little slit 1/4" tubing around the hole prevented further chafeing. I use plastic foam water pipe insulation, held in place with plastic tywraps, to prevent hydraulic line chafeing.
