FUEL INJECTION PUMP
Checking The Injection Pump
The injection pump contains parts which have a very
close tolerance and its operation has a direct effect on the
performance of the engine.
The tools listed will be needed to do the following
procedure:
MEL1237 – Adapter Fuel Line
MEL1173A – Pressure Gauge
To check the discharge pressure at the fuel injection
pump, use the following procedure:
Disconnect a high pressure fuel line from the injection
pump. Loosen the other end of the same fuel line so it can
be turned away from the fitting.
Connect the adapter fuel line (Item 1) [A] to the fitting and
connect the pressure gauge (Item 2) [A].
Turn the flywheel to increase the pressure. If the pressure
can not reach the allowable limit, replace the injection
pump assembly.
Fuel Tightness of Pump Element
Allowable Limit
2133 PSI (14707 kPa)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Measure the time needed to decrease the pressure from
2133–1990 PSI (14707 –13721 kPa). If the measurement
is less than the allowable limit, replace the delivery valve.
Fuel Tightness of Delivery Valve
Allowable Limit
5 Seconds

Adjusting Shut–Off Linkage
Adjust shut–off linkage for maximum distance of 0.050
inch (1,27 mm) between the lever and stop when solenoid
plunger is seated [B].
Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure
can penetrate skin or eyes, causing serious
injury or death. Fluid leaks under pressure may
not be visible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
to find leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
safety goggles. If fluid enters skin or eyes, get
immediate medical attention from a physician
familiar with this injury.
