Injection Problem Solved

[jayhawktrailers.com]

This post maybe of little technical value, but I elt obligated to say thanks once again for the replies that I got on my former post. I had a problem that would make my 4bt die when you tried to throttle it up past idle. All of you that guessed low pressure before the injection pump were correct. I bought 2 engines one rebuilt and one torn down, with the loose parts from both in a box. I found a banjo bolt in the parts box. It threaded right in the line from the filter to the pump, so I never thought that it could be the wrong banjo bolt. This bolt was from the line that goes from lift pump to the filter, for the other motor. This fitting has a tiny orfice in it, and the correct one has 4 hole about 1/8 of an inch, so you can tell that it caused a fuel restriction. It just stared and laughed at me all this time. hopefully no one else makes such a frustrating mistake as I have. Runs good now. Oil pressure is strong. Time to finish the rest of the truck and have fun.

Hey Bill,



Don't mean to change the subject here but was wondering if you have any ideas for me as far as good transmission shops or the like for my '89.

My 'ol girl is going to need a transmission overhaul soon (A727).

The bands are about shot and probably needs new clutches too.

I see you have one too. Not too many of us around anymore with the old Torqueflite

Was wanting to get a lower stall converter too. But all I see is stuff for the 518 overdrive transmission.

I've been told (though by a less than totally reliable source) that the 518s are a 727 with an O/D unit on the rear of it. ANy truth to this?
