OK... took her out for a good shake-down... starts, stops, runs smooth. New fuel filters, full travel on the injection pump, still max speed is 44 mph and 2000 rpm empty. Plenty of power. Everything looks OK and she feels like she will run until the EOD like this, but I would like to get the 53-55 mph other members are getting... any ideas?
Thanks

-pickup on the intank pump crusty?
-air filter clogged?

Check fuel line for crushed areas, especially in front of axle/under radiator.

Ditto I would check that the governor hasn't been adjusted.

what does your egt do when you hit max speed? it it goes down then you are not getting enough fuel. I would go thru the TMs and make sure the gov is set correctly.

Is that loaded or emty??? How much more does that weigh than a M35A2??

scootertrs

will check the gov... she runs smooth... no surging nothing bad happening except ... 44 mph

not quite sure how to check the gov but if all else fails I will check settings... I believe I have the TM for that...

the thing is... she starts with first spin of the engine

anyone off the top of their head know what the psi for the pump out of the tank is supposed to be... how about the governor pressure?

WillWagner

IIRC the low pressure should be 7 to 10 PSI. With the engine stopped, make sure the throttle lever is going to full throttle.
