For specific fuel system components, refer to the groups which cover complete servicing. Fuel Not Reaching Injection Pump or Carburetor Filters clogged. Fuel line clogged or restricted. Electrical shut-off does not work. Fuel too heavy at low temperatures (diesel). Engine Starts Hard or Won't Start Air leak on suction side of system. Fuel too heavy at low temperatures (diesel). Diesel injection nozzles faulty or sticking. I ncorrect tim ing. Diesel automatic advance is faulty or not operating. Water in fuel. Filters clogged. I njection pump return fuel line or fittings restricted (diesel). Low octane or low cetane fuel. Injection pump 180 0 out of time. Engine Starts and Stops Electrical shut-off does not work. Air leak on suction side of system. Filters clogged. Fuel lines clogged or restricted. Water in fuel. I njection pump return fuel line or fittings restricted (diesel). Erratic Engine Operation Filters clogged. One or more connector screws obstructed (diesel). Air leak on suction side of system. Fuel too heavy at low temperatures (diesel). I njection nozzles faulty or sticking (diesel). Fuel lines clogged or restricted. I ncorrect timing. Diesel automatic advance faulty or not operating.. Water in fuel.

TM-1044 (Apr-75) Repair Pump No attempt should be made to disassemble, inspect, and repair internal parts of the injection pump unless required. Special test equipment is available for performing such service. For detailed information on servicing the fuel injection pump, refer to John Deere Injection Pump Service Manual (SM-2045). Drive Shaft and Gear Fuel Systems 30 Diesel Fuel System 10-3 seals MUST face in opposite directions to separate external lubricants from fuel in the pump. Apply Lubriplate liberally around the shaft between the two seals. I nstall gear on drive shaft using key and keyway to locate gear on shaft. Tighten hex. nut to specified torque. InstaUation and Timing I nstall injection pump drive gear and shaft (if removed) on engine front plate. Refer to Section 20, Group 25 for proper method of timing injection pump drive gear. With timing window in place on injection pump, check to be sure that timing line on governor weight retainer hub registers with the line on the cam..305"min. ~ R Fig. 5-lnternal End of Drive Shaft 3568 Examine the tang on the drive shaft (Fig. 5). The thickness of the tang should not be less than specified. Check seals on shaft for hardness or cracked condition. Examine seal grooves on shaft for smooth finish. Any roughness at these points will cause seal failures. If engine has not been set on "top dead center" (No.1 cylinder on compression stroke) rotate engine in direction of rotation (counterclockwise as viewed from flywheel end) until No.1 cylinder is on compression stroke. See details under "Removing Injection Pump from Drive Shaft." I nstall pump over shaft. Be sure that reference mark on drive shaft tang is aligned with the reference mark on the slot end of the distributor rotor in the pump. IMPORTANT: incoi'i'eh~t assembly of shan into pump will result il1 timing error of H~Oo. Fig. 6-lnstalling Seals on Drive Shaft Fig. 7-Compressing Drive Shaft Seals While Installing Pump Apply a generous coat of Lubriplate to the drive shaft seals and slide seals into grooves using Drive Shaft Seal Installation Tool No. 13369 (Fig. 6).
