M35a2 stuck injector pump

[acesneights1]

Got a Deuce in with a stuck pump. The fuel shutoff was stuck. Got it to move up and down but it's real stiff and the truck runs full throttle once started. Rack seems to have no effect on rpm. I was thinking of making a little cocktail to run it on of sea foam,wd40,2 stroke oil and diesel. the tank is full of sludge. I got it running on a 5 gal can of diesel.

Yup, have done that before but would that also cause the truck to run wide open ? I did not disassemble the fuel control group. Only worked it back and forth but it is still sticky and binding. It requires more ummph than it should. It will start right up if I move the shut off by hand with the side cover off but it will take off to full throttle. I was able to bring the rims down by holding the shutoff lever a little more than half way closed. Would this cause the rack to be stuck as well ? I am not sure if I am explaining this right so bear with me.

The last fuel control group was a bitch to get right but that truck also had a moron(besides me) working on it that clocked the lever 180 out and put it back together like that and consequently dropped a liner

Yes, if it is not smooth opperating, it can cause that.

this one is a recent rescue. Got it that way...
...."up on his machines"....there is not enough hours in the day or days in a week for me to keep up on all this stuff I have hoarded... I look at it and get depressed asking myself how I got to this point...then I drink 2 monster energies and have at it.

Yep don't know how I got in so deep. Wish scrap prices were higher I would be rich.
