Subject:82 Diesel Westy Problem
From:Kristopher B.

Hello all.. recently it has been very difficult to start my 82 diesel..
I have to pump at the gas ferociously for it to finally catch, and this
process can take up to 20 seconds or more... It's a new battery, I am
using the choke, the glow plugs are warmed..

Here is another real problem... when I go downhill, if I don't have the
foot on the gas and reving high, my westy will stall out, and I will
have to wait a few seconds and try to start her again.. also, it will
take some time to get her going back to normal..

There must be a problem somewhere in my fuel setup here.  Its a new gas
filter, I think the injectors are clean.  Air in the line?

Thanks in Advance... Kris
