HELP - 8V92 will not start

[Chuck Wheeler]

Larry,

I helped a neighbor who had this problem with his DD series 60. It turned out to be a cracked fuel hose between the engine and chassis that would cause loss of prime. You couldn't see the cracks until the hose was removed. Symptoms were the same. Start, run a few seconds, and quit. We got it to run before we found the bad hose by using a compressor to get the air up so the air throttle would work, andbypassing the oil pressure switch so the aux fuel pump would run. We knew we still had a problem because it would stumble occasionally when coming to a stop. That's when we found the bad hose.

I disconnected all ground and power wires and cleaned the connections.
No effect.
The engine runs for 10 -15 -20 seconds after the key is released.
But runs about 500 RPM then dies. Accelerator had no effect during
the short run time.
