That engine sounds ten times better than the other day. you are doing great. you are getting things sorted out.

Sounds pretty smooth at idle. Good work!

Thank you for the information Jonathan

My dad taught me how to run a backhoe on a late 80s model Cat 416 when i was a kid. Even though its been so many years ago hearing that motor run made it feel like it was yesterday. Such sweet memories. That Perkins is a dang good engine

Vintage Jonathan great information. Thank you. Great video .

Lovely little engine Johnathan 😊

I worked on this type of equipment for 40 years .Perkins in lift trucks and other industrial equipment and it looks like someone who did not know how to work on them has got the inj. pump messed up and you are going to have to remove the pump ,take it apart and check internal parts ,fuel shaft gov springs and other internals.This should be done in a clean room for inj. pumps ,small amount of dirt or debris will damage pump internals.

Diesels are wonderful trying to figure out the prob every body has a different opinion on what it is that’s wrong with it I find they are easier to work on so longs your turbo if you have one isn’t in the way I’d say you are in the right direction to fix it great video I’m about ready to go fire my ole 6.5 up after head gasket change hope it holds together I should have decked the block but not rich and the motor was still in truck I don’t have the space or shop to take motor out good video

Good luck!

Yeah, those fuel distributors (injector pumps) can cause a real fit.

It runs nice and quiet for a diesel with no muffler.

Either something happened the governor or the fuel control rod inside the pump is seized. Common issue on old engines that have sat. Don’t be afraid of injection pumps. There not as complicated as one would think

J,W follow the govern problem, good vid thanks

That would look good in my tractor :)

CAT bought them I have one turbo motor excellent engine.

I do not like rotation pumps at all. We have them on our Leyland engines and they can be a pain. So we do not mess with them just take them off and have them fixed. We have several on the shelf just in case. Replacing them with a factory fresh one is cheaper then have them fixed by the way. Labour costs spoils the benefits of having them fixed.

Heck yeah.

There is no master spline on the pump drive shaft on those later phaser and 1000 series Perkins engines.There is a locknut on the front off the pump to lock the drive at no 1 TDC.You will have to remove timing cover to line up cam gear and pump drive markings as there is no external timing marks on pump.The locking nut on pump should not be forced but should screw in by hand to lock pump when 1 cylinder is approaching TDC.Older engines with the master drive spline were easier to time.

If that's like the older Cav injection pump that lever you move got a little offset dowel on end that moves a slide bar maybe it jumped off on the side door it's timed on the letter E when no 1 is on top dead center it's been over 20yrs since I've been inside one of them I might off those you could've moved the pump right or left for minor adjustments too

look for a witness mark on the block aluminum housing and the witness mark on the triangle injector pump base; as there were screws missing. the engine looks like a modern 4.248 (4 cil. 248 cid.) in my massey ferguson brazil 283.

jammed accelerator , some of those pumps use oil inside ,they are quite complex , I got to fix one of an international motor of 1850 , greetings from Argentina

injector pump shaft has splines & a master spline.

For reference you can reset the timing on the pump yourself.All you need is an injectior tester and a degree wheel on the pump shaft. Apply 30 bar pressure to No1 port using the injector tester, turn it in the direction of rotation until the shaft locks. Mark the degree wheel and release pressure. After that turn the pump forward, info on correct timing is hard to find but 5-6 degrees pump (10-12 degrees engine) should get most engines running ok. Lock the pump and install at engine TDC. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/raqPqJBmmJicdHk.html From 5:55 it shows how to set timing

Hi Jonathon, what was the problem with this project ,as I have not seen any follow ups since !. Regards from the UK.

Pretty the same with Cat 3054 now C4.4 but the Perkins outlast those by far

Johnathan, I didn't see the next video on the Perkins injector pump problem resolution? Did I miss it or did you roll it into another video?

need to build a boat,,,,,

I thought that's what it was the injector pump is probably clogged, it sludged up and stuck

Well I Didn't count how many times you did start it but what is one more time so you know about vacuum if it builds it or not. I know that some vacuum pumps act as a governor for the engine. Just saying don't make it true in this case. I love these videos buddy... Jonathan. I just though that being too lazy to write your whole name is a bad thing to do so I hope I didn't mean to offend you in any way! A great channel

Hi Johnathan. There is a loud whirring noise I can here, that doesn't sound right. It sounds like a gear rubbing on the front cover? Is it coming from the injector pump? sure doesn't sound right!!

have you dial indicated the run out of the fuel injector/water pump drive gear? may be someone didnt respect the master spline orientation of the splines ( if it runs maxed out in one direction) that would make the whine we hear. it should have an adjustable range on the slotted adjustmentat at the pump block interface. being off one spline could cause loss of adjustment range.

Johnathon, could the arm from the fuel pump be loose on the shaft? Stripped splines, loose nut etc?

sucking air is my guess thats what happen to our fork lift it run but whould not go at all

Exactly where did this Perkins come out of ? Farm equipment ?

Nothing a hammer can't fix!? ;-) :-)

pls how to calibrate injector nozzle of 2500 series.

Forget about it.

Take the pump out have it fixed put it back, it will run forever if you ask me!!

Fuel metering valve

Harbor Freight sells the tamper proof bits for cheap

they don't make that engine anymore...good luck getting parts

Broken governor spring is my guess.

How on earth do you adjust the timing on a diesel engine.

I was wrong about sticky injectors

Since I can't find another video about the continuation to this engine project, I guess you gave up and never fixed...

Could it be sucking air

metering valve sleep..

maybe they run it out of fuel & it picked up some trash out of the tank

BFH to the rescue!

what country make perkins? nice video, muy interesante
