DB4 Fuel Pump

This section provides the setup and adjustment procedures for testing and adjusting Fuel Injection Pumps. The fuel injection pumps are tested using the Fuel Injection Equipment Test Stand. See Special Instruction SEHS8200, "Using the Fuel Injection Equipment Test Stand:" for operating instructions.

These pumps can also be tested on earlier fuel injection test benches using the same tooling and procedures. See Special Instruction SEHS7465.

22. Check fuel shutoff device per specifications.

23. Check transfer pump lift:

a. Turn fuel pressure OFF at test bench and check to be sure that the bench gauge indicates the vacuum specified in TMI for this pump.

b. Turn bench fuel pressure ON as soon as specified vacuum is achieved.

24. Set transfer pump pressure by stopping the test bench, remove fuel inlet (11).


Fuel Inlet Line Removed


Setting Transfer Pump Pressure

(24) 4C6827 Hex Bit Driver

25. To adjust pressure, turn internal adjusting screw with 4C6827 Hex Bit Driver (24). Clockwise adjustment increases the pressure. Counterclockwise adjustment decreases the pressure. Repeat this step until the pressure is set correctly.

26. Close the transfer pump outlet line shutoff valve.

27. Check return test oil flow.

a. Stop the test bench and connect pump return port to metered return port on test bench.

b. Run pump at specified speed in TMI and check return flow.

c. After the check is complete, stop the test bench and connect the pump return port to pump return port on test bench.

28. Check pump housing pressure.

a. Run the test bench to the specified speed in TMI and check housing pressure.


Setting Timing Advance

(25) 4C6842 Hex Bit Driver
(26) Nut

29. Run the pump at the specified speed and loosen nut (26) and adjust the trimmer screw with 4C6842 Hex Bit Driver (25) until full advance is achieved.

30. Set cam movement read out device to specified setting in TMI.

31. Run pump at specified speed in TMI and set timing advance to specified setting in TMI.

32. Run the bench at the specified speeds. Make sure flows are correct and the governor is operating properly.

33. If the governor is not operating properly, then stop then bench.

NOTE: The top cover should not need to be remove if the fuel pump was assembled properly. If the top cover does need to be removed, use the following procedures.


Drain Pan Installed

(27) Drain Pan

34. Put drain pan (27) under the pump to catch the fuel that will leak from the pump.


Removing Top Cover

(28) Bolt
(29) Bolts (three)
(30) Top Cover

35. Loosen bolt (28) to drain fuel from the pump. Remove bolt (28) and remove the three bolts (29) from the top cover (30). Remove top cover (30).


Adjusting Fuel Flow

(31) 4C6842 Hex Bit Driver

36. If fuel flow is not correct, remove the front screw and spring. Adjust the internal screws with 4C6842 Hex Bit Driver (31). Both internal screws must be turned equal amounts in the same direction.

NOTE: If the roller-to-roller dimension was set correctly, this step is unnecessary.

37. Install the top cover (30).

38. Recheck for the proper fuel flow and timing.

NOTE: Speed Droop Governors require that high idle speed and final droop adjustments be made on the engine.

39. Turn speed droop adjusting cap in per TMI (Electric Power Generator Engine pumps only).

40. Set high idle per TMI.

41. Set forward shutoff adjusting screw per TMI (aneroid-equipped pumps only).

42. Set low idle per TMI.

Aneroid Adjustments (If Equipped)


Aneroid Adjustments

(1) Lever hole
(2) Rear shutoff adjusting screw
(3) Pump shutoff lever
(4) Forward shutoff adjusting screw

1. Adjust rear shutoff adjusting screw (2) to get lever travel required from TMI. Lever travel (A) is measured at lever hole (1) as shown.

2. Connect the aneroid rod to pump shutoff lever (3).


Air Pressure Hose Installed

(3) Pump shutoff lever
(5) Air pressure hose

3. Put air pressure hose (5) from 4C8740 Air Supply and Test Group on the aneroid inlet.


Indicator Probe Installed

(3) Pump shutoff lever
(6) Indicator probe

4. Install indicator probe (6) from 8T1001 Electric Position Indicator on pump shutoff lever (3).

5. Note pressure at which shutoff lever (3) lifts off forward shutoff adjusting screw (4) and the pressure necessary to obtain full travel of shutoff lever (3).

NOTE: Liftoff pressure can be checked by inserting a thin piece of shim stock beneath forward shutoff adjusting screw (4). The shim will slip free as shutoff lever (3) movement begins.

6. If shutoff lever (3) travel requires more pressure than indicated in TMI, lengthen the aneroid rod. If shutoff lever (3) travel requires less pressure than indicated, shorten the aneroid rod

7. After aneroid is set, check response and repeatability.

8. Install the boot to the aneroid body groove.

On Engine Speed Droop Governor Adjustments

1. Start the engine and apply approximately 50% load until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

NOTE: If the engine surges during the warm-up period, turn the speed droop adjusting cap clockwise until surging stops.

2. When the engine has reached operating temperature, position throttle to get full load speed and apply 100% load. Adjust the throttle if necessary to obtain satisfactory 100% load performance.

3. Remove the load and check for no-load speed per TMI. If incorrect, adjust speed droop adjusting cap in small increments. (Turn clockwise for increased droop or counterclockwise for less droop). If surging exists when load is removed, turn speed droop adjusting cap clockwise to eliminate.

NOTE: When speed droop adjustments are made, throttle position adjustments will also be necessary.

4. Recheck 100% load and no-load performance and readjust as necessary.
