So I rolled my 3200 over yesterday. did not have my belt on and i jumped off as it went over. first thing i did was to shut it off because it was still running. tried to get it back up with my rtv 500 and that was a no go. then tried with my honda pilot and still nothing. had to call a tow truck. in about 10 min or less and $120 later the b3200 was back up. $100 for the filp and $20 tip.
went to started it up and the engine was locked up tight. i had read before that if it wont turn over after a tip over then you have to take the glow plugs out. i never had a diesel before so i took out what looked like spark plugs on the top of the engine.
on mine there are 4 plugs on top that also carry the fuel. i removed the fuel line then took the plugs out. i made sure to keep everthing grouped together from the same cylinder. i figured why turn it by hand when i can just use the key. well i found out why.
when i cranked it with the key fuel shot all over the place. since the inside was already covered why stop so i kept giving it short cranks until it was dry. one thing to watch out for on this method is when i pulled the plugs there was still a copper washer and a little metal cup under it that was still in the hole. i did not pull them out because i figured there was no need. well the short cranks launched the copper washer and metal cups out of all the cylinders. took me a while to find them all.
once it was dry put it all back togther and still would not start. it would now turn over but would not start. turned out when i put the fuel line on i forgot to tighten the line on top of the plugs. once i tightened the lines up it started up.
i drove it over to the pavement to change the oil because the oil was way over full must have had fuel in with the oil. used a fram ph3593A. after the oil change it was back to work.
hope this can help the next person that has this problem.
