In a couple spots its minor there. Mostly midway up the ramps, towards the tip. There's a window in the block behind the fuel pump where I can see #3. Dropped 2 tappets in there and they seem to roll just fine. Thing is new cam is pretty pricy at around $3500. Debating getting it spray welded and ground. This engine will honestly be lucky to see 5,000 kilometers a year on average. That was my logic behind just run it and see what happens.
W900l turns, but does not fire

I'd just run it as a hobby truck.

Sorry started to sidetrack thread. Hopefully original poster reports back. The wiring and solenoids are not OEM installed.

Late to the party. I have been working to get a N14 Celect started. One independent shop, Cummins dealer, and several others have looked at it. I took it on a challenge and at the moment I am losing.
I found a man on You Tube that is a Cummins man through and through. He is Terry Chron. His videos are fantastic. Check him out. There is a lot of info in them pertaining to incorrect wiring coming off the starter and not the batteries as it should.
Also watch the video concerning checking power to the fuel solenoid. -
@ KVB and spsauerland
This week / weekend I hope to find some time again for the Kenworth project. With the great help of this forum I learn much about my truck. Until now I just have been the driver, now I must develop to a (hobby) mechanic. So, sorry for my "simple" questions.
I will now check the switched and unswitched plus cables going into the ECM. There is no check engine light and no plus on the shut off cable. Please confirm, that the cable shown in the picture must have plus 12V when the key is turned.
I have your wire diagrams but cannot find the right cables under the truck. In the diagram is shown a frame with A,B,C between Battery and ECM. two plus cables, one minus cable. Can you tell me what this is and how it looks?

Yes, if the ECM is powered up with 12V battery, ground, and key switch battery 12V will be present at the fuel shut-off solenoid. The harness that provides 12v batt and ground is K068-6003-1500. Unfortunately, this diagram isn't in KW archives. A similar diagram would K068-5505 that I uploaded. The harness will come out of the battery box with three 12 gauge wires and meets the Cummins power harness at a three pin Weatherpack connector . 12V ignition is from the 5 amp engine shutdown fuse in fuse panel and connects to Cummins supplied actuator harness. Get a pack of plastic cable ties and good pair side cuts ( I prefer ones that cut the cable ties flush so you don't look like you got in a fight with a cat on your arms) and start following the harness out of the battery box and get it loose so you can inspect it. I like to load test the wires with a headlight bulb to make sure they can carry the current needed for the ECM. Hope this makes sense and helps!

OK. I made the next step - again no success.
The ECM has three connections - two upper, one lower. I have the cable from the Battery with two Plus and one Minus. Two 10A Fuses, both ok. This cable should go (following the diagram) into the lower connection. But it looks like it goes into the inner upper connection. Fuses in the cabin are all checked, but I can not unplug the connections at the ECM. I have the 9/32 screw loose, but the connection does open. See the pictures. -
if ecm isnt powering up like earlier post there is a fuse usually by battery to protect it and usually jump starting will pop it
biglion Thanks this.
