Ok since I got the new motor done the truck will idal then die new ad filters and pressure gauge readin 14psi, now the pump did sit for a little under a year with fuel and the top off in a baggy could that be my problem that I can't get rid of w/o rebuildin it? I got aft in a full tank and its helpin a little bit. I'm just out of ideas or do I just need to run the **** out of it for a couple of tanks(I thought of that 1 and then I get to see how much more power over the other motor this 1 has and its awsoome!)Thanks guys

well have you tried to adjust the idle a bit higher. Also, I when you did the 366 spring you sure you have the throttle shaft indexed correctly. Those are the two most obvious things.

Is it hard to restart?

randyswelding

Idal screw got replaced by a grade8 bolt on the front side and its bout 1/2" from the body of the pump and the gove spring I got at 2 on the radiator side it was at 3 but high idal with no low idal screw in it but I plan on trin 3 again saturday but then why would it idal then die or when I start it it won't idal w/o help am I just clocked wrong on the throttle shaft

randyswelding

No it fires right up each and every dang time you just have to help it idal

wannadiesel

Sounds like you just have the idle set too slow.

randyswelding

But then why does it some times idal at 800 and other times it won't that's what has me messed up

randyswelding

Is there a way to get more fuel at idal or is it just preset some how?

you had to have clocked your throttle shaft wrong.

the reason it idles for a bit when you first start it is because the governor is in the full fuel position on start up. when the pump isn't turning (engine off) the governor flyweights are in the resting position. in turn, because of that, the governor spring has no tension being pulled on it. ever wonder why our trucks bark when they first start and the RPM's jump and then drop quickly? what's happening is the pump begins to turn and the governor flyweights spread apart due to centrifugal force and position the metering sleeve on the plunger shaft so that just enough fuel is pressurized and delivered to the injectors to keep the engine at the preset idle speed.

that being said, your engine idles for a couple injection cycles until the pump can no longer supply fuel, then dies as a result. check your throttle shaft position.

Ok ill try 3 lines instead of 2. Its 2:12am just got home from work and its idalin at 1k at the stop signs no idal and when I start it jim no idal but I do think its a clock thing I got 1 pump at 2 so that's where I thought I'd try and found out no worky but what your sayin makes sence thanks guys ill let yall know how it works out today/tomarrow

DNRCustoms

I think when I usally do it it it is 4 and 2 with normal clocking. Meaning if you just have mild pump adjustments thats usally where it falls..

Ok I clocked it to 3 and its at 800rpm w/o the low idal screw when it starts I have to tap the throttle and it will idal if not it will die I'm goin to take it for a test ride in 5 min so ill keep yall posted

jimbo486

if you have to tap the skinny pedal when starting, i'd turn the idle screw in a bit so that you don't have to tap the pedal to start it. like DNR said, set it to the 4 and 2 position (which i believe is stock), you may have to adjust the idle up more, but at that position the throttle shaft should be pulling enough tension on the governor spring to allow it to idle.

Ok that's what it was the 1 thing that I should have caught!it was the index I got to play with a bit more but that's what it was thanks guys !

randyswelding

Ok I started it thismornin and no idal but kicked up then like she's supossed to then idaled down but too low then it picks up and idals perfect
