TM5-6115-593-34NAVFAC P-8-631-34TO-35C2-3-463-2NOTEWhen pump is open to makeadjustments, open main control valve toflowmeter wide open and move throttlelever back and forth until flowmetershows no air, so air may be expelledmore rapidly from system.(15) SettingIdleSpeed.(a) Close test stand main flow control valveand open idle orifice valve.(b) Set throttle shaft in idle position (towardgear pump) and hold firmly against stop.(c) Run test stand at 168 psi (1159 kPa).(d) Check pressure on fuel manifoldpressure gauge; it should be 168 psi(1159 kPa). If pressure is low, screwidle adjusting screw (16, figure 13-23) inwith the spring adjusting tool. To lowerpressure, back out screw.(16) WeightAssistPressureCheck.(a) Decrease pump speed to 800 rpm.Adjust flowmeter if not as specified.(b) The fuel manifold pressure should be129 to 135 psi (890 to 931 kPa) at'1500rpm.(c) If fuel pressure is low, add shims behindthe governor weight assist plunger inthe governor weight carrier (16, figure13-12) or (24, figure 13-21). Todecrease pressure, remove shims. Ifadjustments are required, recheck entirepump calibration. Shims are availablein 0.007 to 0.016 inch (0.178 to 0.406mm).CAUTIONWeight assist plunger must be installedwith the smallest end to the governorplunger.(17) CheckPressurizingValve. Loosen theplug (1, figure 13-23) in the governorspring pack housing cover. Fuel shouldleak around the plug if the pressure valveis properly pressurizing the housing.(18) CheckingPumpSeals.(a) With the test stand operating at 500rpm, close vacuum valve in fuel pumpsuction line until vacuum gauge reads15 inches vacuum. The fuel flowcontrol valve should be open during thischeck.(b) Put a small amount of light cup greaseover the vent hole at the mainshaft sealbore of the mainshaft cover (30, figure13-20).(c) If lubricant is sucked into the hole at the15 inch vacuum setting, this is anindication that the seals will not permitproper engine performance and shouldbe replaced.(d) During the above check, observe theflowmeter for air in the meter which mayor may not indicate air leakage into thepump. Air may be entering linesbetween tank and pump. A slow leakmay not show up promptly as air in themeter. Observe fuel level in tank forpossibility of low fuel causing airbubbles.(e) Leakage may occur at the gear pump tohousing gasket if gear pump is notpositioned correctly.(f)Tighten all capscrews,13-43
