During a period wherein my starter was going bad, I got in the habit of pumping the fuel foot pedal at start up. It felt like I was doing some good. Lately I realized that the fuel foot feed is not operable for a period of time after the engine fires, presumably to make sure the air pressure gets a chance to build up.
Do I understand this correctly, that pumping the fuel pedal to start is of no consequence?
Correct If that engine isa diesel. the old gas engines have a accelerator pump, that will deliver fuel into the manifold, the newer ones with FI will not.
pumping the throttle really does no good in the late model engines. all it does is deliver a signal to the computer.
