A neighbor stopped in today looking for help with the fuel system for his early 70's Allis Chalmers HD-16. I'm not an AC person so I said I would post here for help. It has a 6 cylinder engine. It has been sitting for sometime and he is trying to get fuel to the injectors. He has fuel at the injector pump but, although it fires right up on ether, the fuel won't come up to the injectors. He says there is some type of primer hand pump, non-functioning, on the instrument panel. I told him the first thing I would advise is get the primer working, but maybe there's an expert somewhere.

I think the hand primer he's talking about is for using ether capsules for starting. I don't remember ever seeing one of them that actually worked.

Tom, I seem to recall them having a rotary pump(rosamaster) and they are a bit harder to bleed than an inline pump. Leave the ether can in the truck, don't want too much of that right now. Get the batteries charged up fully. Loosen the fuel lines at the pump and crank untill fuel comes out, close them and then loosen them at the injectors and crank untill fuel comes out. Don't crank too long at one time, let started cool off a bit. When you get it blead it should fire right up. If you crank and see white smoke coming out it's getting fuel but not firing, a shot of ether would be okay at this point.
Later Bob
