pressure.Observe nozzle tip for fuel leakage. Ifnozzle does not leak, the nozzle valve is seatingproperly in the valve body. If drops of fuel collect ata pressure of approximately 200 psi, or less, belowpopping pressure, the nozzle valve is not seatingproperly. In this case, the valve body and valvemust be removed for cleaning and inspection.d. If the nozzle proved satisfactory when subjectedto the leakage test above, operate handle at a speedof approximately 100 strokes per minute and observenozzle spray pattern.e. The nozzle tip has four equally spaced holes,90 degrees apart.Size and spacing of these holesdetermine the spray pattern. If fuel is dischargedevenly through all four holes at specified poppingpressure, the spray pattern is considered satisfact-ory. However, if fuel is not discharged evenlyfrom all four holes, a plugged hole(s) is indicated,in which case, the nozzle must be removed andcleaned using a proper size cleaning wire.f. Install nozzle holder cap nut and tighten it to60 to 75 foot-pounds torque.14-41. Nozzle Holder Assembly Installation.Install the nozzle holder assembly. Refer to opera.tor and Organizational Maintenance Manual.Section VIII. FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND RELATED PARTS14-42. General.a. The fuel injection pump is a single cylinder,opposed plunger, inlet metering, distributor type.The plungers are operated by an internal cam ring.The purpose of the pump is to accurately delivermetered quantities of fuel under high pressure to thenozzle holder assemblies through which the fuel isintroduced into the engine combustion chambers, ata definite timing in relation to the engine firing cycle,and within the required injection period.b. On Class 1, Precise Sets, the fuel injectionpump is controlled by the hydraulic actuator. Thehydraulic actuator operates on the shut down leverto automatically control fuel flow through the fuelinjection pump, dependent upon load conditions, andthus controls engine speed and response to loadchanges.c. On Class 2, Utility Sets, this fuel injectionpump is manually controlled from the control locatedat the rear of the set. The manual control is con-nected to the throttle through a cable and sleeveassembly.d. The fuel injection pump also has an integralback-up governor of the mechanical centrifugal(flyweight) type.This governor is driven directly offthe pump drive shaft without gearing.e. The transfer or supply pump, in the oppositeend–of the rotor from the pumping cylinder, is apositive displacement vane type enclosed by the endplate. The pump is self-lubricated by the fuelsupply.f. Fuel shut-off is accomplished electrically by asolenoid mechanism within the fuel pump. Whenenergized, the solenoid opens the metering valve topermit fuel flow to the engine.g. An external adjustment knurled screw at the rearof the pump housing provides precise control of gover-nor sensitivity by decreasing or increasing theeffective length of the governor control spring.Turning the adjustment screw inward shortens thecontrol spring, making it less sensitive and increasing14-30speed droop.Turning the screw outward has theopposite effect.Regulation of 2-3 percent can beeasily attained and adjustment can be made while theengine is operating.14-43. Fuel Injection Pump Removal and Disassembly.a.SymptomsandIsolationofMalfunction. Amalfunction of the fuel injection pump is usually indi-cated by loss of engine speed and power, erraticengine speed, failure of engine to start (when electricstarter is working correctly), or sudden engine shut-down when there is no fault indication such as low fuel,high coolant temperature, or low oil pressure. Toisolate the malfunction to the fuel injection pump,proceed as follows:(1) Check fuel lines and fuel injection pump forvisible signs of leakage.(2) If engine cannot be started or if it has shutdown suddenly, loosen the fuel input line to the fuelinjection pump.If a full line of fuel is available, itmay be an indication that the pump has failed. Tightenthe coupling.(3) While engine is cranking, loosen the inputto one of the fuel injectors. If there is no evidence ofavailable fuel, the fuel injector pump has failed.(4) Remove timing cover on pump and observethat pump rotates when engine cranks.(5) Check for 24 Vdc at solenoid terminals ontop cover. of injection pump.(6) Check solenoid (para 14-46). If no conti-nuity, replace solenoid.(7) Refer to table 14-1 for troubleshooting thefuel injection pump.b. Removal.(See figure 14-20.)(1) Refer to the Operator and OrganizationalMaintenance Manual and drain fuel day tank and dis-connect fuel line to pump.
