And remove the return line and drop it into a bucket, If the return line is plugged solid or kinked, the engine might not need to idle before the idle comes up, the line will be full and easily pressurized at start up to make the idle high. Do this before removing the pump. With a line into a...
Push tube....big one between the cam follower and injector lever or the link from the lever into the injector? Links are the same between SC and BC, PT is different between SC and BC, IIRC SC was a tad longer.
No, that's wrong. Set to 6 in lb and lock it down. No 15 extra degrees, no bottom the plunger. Set it at 6 in lb and run it. Injector on 3, valves on 5 when at A on the pulley.

AND, the cam lift might be different. You need to look in a CPL book or better yet an injector book to see what cam is used. Was/is the 350 a big or small cam?
So the engine will not turn over, as in no crank after shut down? 600 is low. Look on the engine data plate, I believe idle should be 700. Checking fuel system as follows.
In the picture,
Restriction from the truck, yellow circle.
Lift Pump output pressure, black circle.

You didn't say it would idle all day in neutral, it would idle only if you held rpm above 800. What rpm does it idle at? You need to check pressures and restriction.
Exactly....IF the trans is FUBAR, it won't. It is trying to start fully loaded. A MINIMUM of 200 RPM....per Cumins...is needed to make one lite off...it will at a lower rpm, but NOT with a load. Before you go messing with pump settings, remove the converter bolts. It is...depending on the...
AND, what the attached does not mention, IF you think you have a pump/engine issue, divide the system in half, engine/truck, by ELIMINATING the chassis. If the engine runs/accelerates fine with a line directly from the engine into a clean bucket of go juice, the issue is on the chassis. Keep in...
This applies to basically ALL Cummins PT pumps, AFC or non AFC. If the pump you are working on does not have an AFC....non turbocharged engine....skip over the parts that relate to AFC operation. Thanks Simp, good find! And, this is directly from the Cummins troubleshooting steps.
Put a known good gauge in one of the ports. Verify against the dash gauge. No troubleshooting for high OP per Cummins, but, a stuck regulator will cause it. Did your failure put debris into the oil pan? If so, godd possibility debris in the regulator.
If it runs and drives but shuts off at idle or when you come to a stop, COULD be a messed up trans/converter. If the trans or converter is f-ed up, the engine is seeing a load all the time, the trans stops turning so it kills the engine. Does it smoke on start up? Easy thing to do to eliminate...
If you run an AFC pump on a non turbo engine, you will have zero power. Needs the turbo to make the pump work. You COULD run air to the AFC....20 psi or so max....and it will work. It will smoke like a freight train on accel!
A friend of the Museum had his jeep towed to the Museum with a no crank issue, troubleshoothin found the issue to be the starter locked up. Pulled the starter and found that the front capscrew that holds the spring to the bendix had come out and wedged itself between the bendix and housing. The...
