  the injection system either this weekend or mon tuesday of next week.if you have a good
  expertese I will pay you foryou time.
   
  1981 VW Caddy 
  1984 1.6 litre diesel Rabbit engine
  5 speed Jetta tranny
   
  "stumbles" as if wants to start, but does not...
   
  will not start if the pump advance for cold weather is used  (seems to load up and a cloud of 
   
  fuel is released our the exhaust
   
  recently within the pst 7 months has had the front injector pump replaced.....
   
  pump leaks a little from other place(s)?
    
  has a low boost electric pump in line on the fuel system under the truck

Put it all back together Tuesday evening and all is well now. And you

again are not very good. :-)

Cheers,
