PUZZLED... 96 f350 HELP IS NEEDED

[d.j.pherigo]

I have a 96 f350 with the 7.3

Truck has 168xxx

165cc with 30% nozzle

new turbo

air dog fuel system


now to the problem...

I took the fuel bowl off to help find an oil leak that I thought was coming from the HPOP. Turned out out to be the high pressure line running to the driver side head. Replaced the line, no leak, thought I was done. I carefully re-installed the fuel bowl, and put the rest of the truck back together.
I loosened the fuel bowl cap and waited for the air dog to fill it up trying to get the air out. I started the truck and it idled fine for about 5 minutes while I checked to see if my oil leak was fixed. I shut the truck down to check for further leaking and restarted it about 10 minutes later. It now has a bad shake to it, sounds like it is missing, and struggles to rev above 2500rpm.

I havent had any problems with the truck prior to the oil leak, and I am at a loss on what to do next.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

figured it out... had to bleed the fuel bowl several times... and it started running just fine. I did the same procedure each time, but it just started working...

Nice of you to report back on the fix.

Well your fuel system is wrong on your setup so I'm sure it ain't helping at all
