Popular Post beatngu Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well, after some tinkering and whatnot I got my 673 to run today! it was a very short lived experience as the motor was overspending, had to do the emergency wood plank shutdown as many suggested. But none the less I am very happy to know that progress is being made. Now from what I have read in the past the over speeding may be caused by a stuck governor, correct? If so how do I fix this issue? Any help would be excellent- Kyle. Also here are some pictures from today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Happy for you Kyle. Looks like you are well on your way with this project. Yea, have the injector pump seen after. May be sucking oil instead of air. Looks like the truck may have been red in it's beginnings.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 well now that runs and the pump shop wants your beer money you could try pulling the 9 bolt side cover off the injection pump and see if the barrels turn as you move the throttle link, if they don't move carefully caress the rack fore and aft and you might get lucky or go to ebay I saw several advertised for $800 bucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatngu Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have another fuel pump sitting on my spare 711, which would be much easier on the wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatngu Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 There is some sort of fuel shutoff on the line coming from the filter to the high pressure pump. By cutting some of the fuel flow, the engine will stay at safe RPMs and it idled on its own for maybe 30 seconds. Any thoughts on that scenario?

Gmerrill0516 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sounds like you are artificially governing the fuel input to the pump...I'd start with what Gearhead204 suggests (sounds like he's been there once or twice) and then if that all turns to crap go for your spare...might check that out now for good measure too.Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 yup,take side cover off. spray with blaster for a few days. should free up. worse case scenario , undo the lines, the three bolts and the one on the bottom and take the pump of. let it soak in a tub of kerosene for a week or so, then turn the pump over til all the plungers move. you can even take a screwdriver, stick it in the spring and gently tap down on the springs.. DONT turn the engine over while the pump is off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatngu Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Excellent, will do. If the rain lets up, that will be my task for tomorrow. Would there be a replaceable gasket after taking that cover off or just Use some silicone/ make one with gasket material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Never been in there but in general if it had a gasket, you should buy or make one to go back. RTV in place of a gasket puts things closer together than they were intended to be in my opinion and is not the best way to go. Some gasket paper, good scisors, a good hole punch set and maybe an exacto knife and you will have it knocked out in no time. I'd use a little permatex formagasket to lightly coat both sides of the gasket for a leak proof seal...never fails and is good insurance.Let us know how you make out.

Maddog13407 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 usually you can save the gasket and its stuck to the cover. a thin layer of Permatex High Tack on it and slap it back on, don't use silicone around fuel oil or gas. it always finds its way into where it doesn't belong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatngu Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I got it, the spring closest to the cab was stuck in the "up" position. Now it idles like a champ!http://youtu.be/Hb1W4fv0a2w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatngu Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Well I finally ran into a real problem. The air compressor is pushing oil into the air tanks. I am going to swap the compressor off the spare motor and hopefully that one is good. Other than an air leak from the wiper assembly the tanks will build 90 PSI.
