I'm new to the forum here with a question about a project truck. I have a B61 with a thermodyne diesel that I acquired recently. I don't know the exact history, but I do know for sure that the engine was running when it was parked about 10 years ago. Now I have the truck and the engine is set up tight. The body and frame are in great shape from the previous owners restoration efforts, and I'd like to get it at least turning over before I do anything else with it. Any ideas on where to start? If it were a more modern engine that i was going to rely on for power i wouldn't even try to get it going without a full teardown, but I'm wondering if there's any quick tricks or common problem areas with these engines that I should look at before getting into a full rebuild.
