I would imagine so.   They also did some "improvements" to the flyweights.  Not sure what.    But, the long and short of it is, throw some $ at these pumps and the surging can be calmed down.

In my case I suppose I would be the only person in a pump shop to explain what to do with "that piece of old junk". So try to scratch up a few bits of info.

Would be also interesting to learn how to increase the maximum PRM setting from 1900 to 2300 what was told as a safe figure. I sure don't pretend on you to describe that. Just thoughts on the matter.

Just curious, what pump shop did you use. I have a 350 that surges when cruising and needs some pump work.

There was an old school pump and injection shop in New Castle, PA called IB Diesel. Sadly he retired and closed up about a year ago. He couldn't find anyone who wanted to buy him out and continue the business. He was an ex Mack mechanic and service writer for the local dealership in the 70s and 80s then went off on his own in the 80s I think. A real wizard with the Mack engines and pumps. He knew everything about Macks. He worked over the pump on the 237 transplant in my B81 and it runs amazing.

Area Diesel Service in Illinois seems to be the people to go to nowadays. They have tremendous exposure online / social media and seem to know everything about any injection pump. They seem to be able to get parts for just about anything and anybody who uses them speaks very highly of them.

I used Prince George Fuel Injection, in B.C Canada.   I won't hesitate to use them again.

Depends how close you are to Knoxville, TN. I've been told by friends in the area that City Diesel is exceptional at anything diesel, especially pump and injector rebuilds.

I’m about 1:45min actually! That’s good news to hear.
