Diesel Engine - Injection Pump Timing

Bulletin 84-6-17

Date Feb. '84

Ref. No. 84-109-6
SUBJECT: DIESEL ENGINE INJECTION PUMP TIMING

MODELS AFFFECTED: ALL EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINE


Anything that effects the fuel pressure to the injection pump such as a plugged filter or pinched line will change the timing. A restricted fuel return line will also cause a timing shift. If the pump timing is adjusted, and later it is discovered that the fuel system is restricted, the timing may be incorrect. Should this situation be encountered, it will be necessary to check and adjust pump timing as necessary.
