    Ok, so I'm messing with my APU which will not start. Basically it's nothing more than a 2 cycle diesel engine.

    The starter cranks, but it acts like it has lost prime. Fresh oil, new oil, fuel, and air filters. Took off the inline fuel strainer and cleaned it real good. Glow plugs are working. Fuel comes out of the fuel pump.

    I'm at a loss at this point, any ideas?

    @RedForeman posted about a screen that needs to be cleaned or changed out every year I think ? Can you search his post and find it ? I wish I could remember what he said better but I'm hoping this might ring a bell with you quick instead of digging around for a long time before an answer.

    Yeah that's the inline strainer for the fuel. I already cleaned that. I think I'm gonna have to replace the fuel pump.

    Probably didn't use strong enough language. Ya gotta be forceful to get his attention. Need to string at least 4 straight " stern " words together before his ears tune in.

    Edit: he posted that he was on the wrong channel and ruined my admonishment.
    Who ya gonna believe ? Him or me ? Truth or a made up story ?
