cubastreet Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We had a bit of rain yesterday and the ford was looking a bit high and out of shape so I decided to call on the big wheels of my new 90s Isuzu elf. Unknown to me the bottom of the air filter housing had been broken/lost and someone had just driven some screws in to hold the filter in place. As soon as it hit the water, the engine stopped and wouldn't turn over. I pulled the truck out with the mighty grey Ferguson and now it's sitting in the drive. So what can I do? My gut says to take out the glow plugs and turn it over but there's a radiator in front of the crank pulley and reaching in there doesn't seem to be a nut to put a socket on.

tortron Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Never done it with a deez, but have filled all manner of 4 strokes with oil and then blown it all out with plugs out and off the starter. Wet motorbikes plug out and kick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubastreet Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks guys, the glow plugs came out ok. I'll pull the sump plug and make sure it's got oil in the bottom then give it a bash. Hopefully I haven't killed it, was going slow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 I turned it over and it squirted water out but then stopped, now it won't turn over on the starter motor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
