possible pump fdc H.h. failure help

Ahh, you are calling the plunger the quill, which is wrong. The quill shaft is in the IP that drives the hydraulic head.

The oblong part raises the fuel block.

Sometimes the red paint is not there but the scribe mark is. When the Head scribe and pointer line up they come out and if you look down the IP hole where the Head was you should see there on the quill shaft the cut out on the retainer washer. When the head is replaced the scribe and pointer well be back in line again.

Thank you for addressing that point. I am still 'Miffed' as to WHY a engineering component would not align to actual timing marks..Why the heck not Place the flipp'in marks Exactly where they are supposed to be. just my 11.7 penn'eth. Also the button was present all three and that 3 legged little washer.
(Another) GLUM point of the day. One of the cadets drove out with the fork truck..without noticing a spare hydraulic Head sitting on the rear.....Yep..it fell of and snapped the quill!... Just what to say?.. try.."Tut Tut".."clumsy".....He already felt bad..No need to add to it. My fault I'm the 'boss'.

Just looking over an old thread. We have discussed this before but I feel you must rotate the engine / jackshaft the same direction she runs when trying to get the Head out. If I remember jackshaft counter clockwise would be the same as when she runs looking from the back of the engine. Believe maybe some are turning the jackshaft or the engine opposite of the way she runs. Also if you do turn the correct way but pass the marks you need to continue for maybe 1/4 or more rotation then come back the correct rotation and try to hit the make without backing up. I have had no trouble getting out or in the Heads I have changed. Just a thought.

A similar thread is running on a deuce that did not run properly either. Mine turned out to be AIR INGRESSING the system. The other persons problems..Also were caused by..Air INGRESSING the system. Take heed others starting to check out this "Fails to start or starts but wont run for long".fault.
