Dd 371
I have several suggestions for things to check before attempting to start the DD 371. 1) Make sure that the emergency air shutoff has not been closed and conform that it still works incase the motor starts and then starts to runaway (you could need it). 2) Confirm that the rack is free and that the governor or injectors are not frozen. 3) Install a primer pump if you don't already have one. 4) Connect a temporary gravity feed fuel tank with fresh fuel.
The nice thing about an old DD, if it has air and fuel it will run. Let us know how the project progresses or ask if you have questions.
Good luck
John
