Help! 7.3idi no fuel from pump

[ISPKI]

Clb, I have tried to look up how to properly install the cover but have not found anything useful. How can it cause a runaway? As far as I know, its almost impossible to install this wrong, but even if you do, it just wouldnt shut off vecause nothing on the cover meters fuel flow... I think.

Hmmm I did a little more digging. Is it possible to install the cover in such a way that the fuel shutoff does not engage the linkage? It looks like it could be installed with the arm on the FSS behind the linkage.

Glad you found the wrong way of installing the injection pump top cover. To everyone reading this answer. If you have reason to remove the top cover please have some rags or a piece of wood made to fit the intake suction area where the air gets sucked down into the manifold. Installing the top cover wrong results in an engine run away where there is no way to stop the engine. What happens is the governor linkage and shutoff solenoid are made useless. So the engine over fuels and the rpm is not regulated. The rpm will climb so high that the engine will stick a rod thru the block. U tube has some interesting diesel run away vids to watch if interested.

yeah,it sounds like you got lucky she didn't start.........you might of been in for a little surprise and in need of a new pair of underwear.

Another good reason for electronic lift pump. Turn off ignition and cut fuel supply.

Here's what I got!

Let me know specificley what you need!

Thanks for that info CLB, do you have the page with the next steps on troubleshooting? My problem seems to be further down, perhaps on step 10.

I just want to run this by everyone. When installing the cover back on the IP, you want to position the cover about 1/4" towards the driver side of the truck, then slide to towards the passenger side until the bolt holes line up? This is to get the hook on the end of the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid arm to lock into the fuel metering linkage to ensure that the arm can correctly actuate the governor and fuel metering valve? Lets see if I can upload pictures today.

That doesn't sound right. I always slid it front or back.

Jasper, I dont see how it can be slid front to back, the FSS housing will not allow it to move towards the nose of the truck any more than an 1/8" at most.

 

[ISPKI]

I mean, if you place it towards the nose of the truck as far as possible, then I do not see how it can possibly be installed incorrectly. There does not seem to be enough space to position it so that the FSS arm is not engaged with the linkage.

Also - This is the other solenoid under the cover. I believe it is called the cold start advance solenoid(?), it has a needle that opens the valve in the return fitting on top of the cover. I cannot get this thing to function, although it only has one terminal, whereas the FSS has both + and - terminals. Does the Cold start advance solenoid ground through the housing? I read that if this does not function, then the housing pressure will be too high due to the transfer pump and will not allow the Injector pump to reach the right pressure.

Yeah, you're doing it wrong.
Straight from stanadyne. "1. Remove the three governor cover screws and washers and set aside.
2. Move the governor cover down towards the top of the pump from a
position further toward the drive shaft end (means pump driveshaft aka front of emgine) than its final assembled position as shown in Figure 11 to ensure the pivot arm is positioned on the proper side of the linkage hook.
3. Just before the cover seal touches the housing, slide the cover into alignment, install the cover screws and washers, and tighten screws to 35-45 lbf.-inches (4.0-5.1 Nm)."

The fsv arm does not go "behind" the arm in the pump. Goes in front of it.

That is exactly what I havs been looking for Jasper! Thank you thank you! I got the cold start solenoid functioning today. Going to mount the cover tomorrow and see if it will fire up
