I have this dedicated pulling truck project in my shop that has been around for a while, just now getting the time to work on it again.
The engine is a 1995 manual trans 180 pump. I have installed a CDS 5GSK kit in it, and it is set up with no fuel plate and no AFC, rack plug, 5x16 injectors, 60 lb valve springs, HX55 and increased timing. No DVs yet.
Its been sitting about a year or so since it ran in the donor, and now that I have it running again in the puller, the rack is intermittenly hanging at no fuel. I couldnt get any fuel out of the delivery valves, finally realized it wasn't fueling, jiggled around on the rack through the plate hole and it released and bingo I got it bled and running.
Now it will just hang ever now and then, seems to do it if I pump the throttle hard with it running, or if I push the governor arm back all the way with my finger (piece that is supposed to contact the plate & afc) it will just hang. Work throttle and the rack don't move. I can see the rod from the gov trying to push it, but it won't move.
I thought at first is was sticking, maybe a barrel in a pump or something from sitting idle, but trying to force it forward dont help. What does work is to jiggle it around, and its like it is caught on something, it will release and is fine till it hangs up again.
Any ideas??
Thanks
