  • Part 2 (we get it running!): • Neglected Forklift Fin...
    This Clark UT60D forklift used to be a really nice machine. But the years have not been kind to it. We try to get the engine running and hopefully put it back into service.
    This is a Roosa Master JDB injection pump. The engine is a John Deere.

    Just to clarify, there is plenty of fuel at the inlet to the injection pump. When I said "running out of fuel", I mean inside the injection pump.

      @grantwtk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      if youre rebuilding the injection then make sure to give it a new lift pump. so do the lift pump first and see what happens. alot less money.

      There is so much you can do with not a lot of kit as we all know clean everything fuel system etc start at the beginning tank and contents. Just to say some lift pumps have a filter inside the cap. A trick I learned is clean lift pump out if its still lazy squirt engine oil in the inlet it encourages the valves. But filter filter filter.clean clean again

I admire your courage and do not fault your work at all! I have learned plenty from you and before I quit, had a half million in tools, shop, etc., your good at what you do and should be very proud.

      in my case, it was desperation. couldn't afford a $700 rebuilt pump. replaced broken plunger springs the first time. second time, got the kit and went through it completely (and found yet another chunk of an old, broken spring still in there ... yikes! ... and nearly sheared hpp drive dogs). It had gotten to the point where you replaced one leaky seal, another would start leaking. (Bosch rotary, similar in operation to this one)

    I also had the same problem Daniel Ramsey stated concerning the pickup tube from the fuel tank limiting flow. Mine was on a 1967 580 case backhoe with the same injection pump your dealing with. I cleaned and sealed the tank and still was picking up a little rust in the tank that didn't seal properly, so rather than take the tank back off I put a hose on the pickup tube on the inside of the tank so it would not pickup from the very bottom of the tank. I know it won't get the last inch of fuel in the tank but it gets mixed around from movement so I don't see it as a problem and it saved me from having to pull the tank a second time which was no small endeavor. I did that fix a year ago and has been running great since. Love you videos. God bless!

    Nice work, the pump functions were well explained. For a starting aid I use a rag soaked in gasoline held in front of the intake. won't vibrate glow plugs or damage internal parts. just let the gas fumes do the work and don't let go of the rag when it starts.

    Wes, that was one of the best vidios I have ever seen. I will have to watch it a few more times to get my head around the complex internal workings of a rotary pump. Just shows what makes an expert! When I service a diesel system, ie change filters I keep the stop cord out all the time then once I have bled it to the injector pump I crank the engine on full throttle and after three seconds put the stop cord in and it usually starts without cracking off an injector pipe. (not always). This saves a bit of battery life. Try it if you don't already do it and see how you go. Cheers, Jim in NZ.

    Date Jan 3rd, 2020. Your video was well done! You are meticulous with the pump! Bravo!
    Definitely, the pump was gummed up, and needed your work on it ! You had the humility
    to have and read up , in the shop manual, or pump manual. Good! Your illustration was great!
    Your willingness to note down, or make diagrams of details, is very good when you are on
    a machine you are not familiar with! This saves a lot of grief, when stuff slips your mind!
    Your use of compressed air and assembly grease, is right on! Do not be reluctant to soak stuff , in carburetor cleaner! wear gloves to protect yourself! #1. drop the old diesel fuel,
    mix fresh in, and here is a fantastic trick! get another cap for your fuel tank. Drill it out,
    and install a tube with nuts inside the cap and out to secure the tube. either attach a short hose, to an air coupler. Put the cap on the tank, and apply any where from 8 to 10 lbs.
    of air pressure to the tank! NO MORE! Crack open the pump bleeder screw, and then the
    injector bleeder screws or loosen the nuts, and watch the fuel and air bleed out of the system
    so fully and completely , before your eyes! you will kick yourself!! It works like a forest Fire!
    The big mistake is that all of us do as we are told, by cranking, and pumping, so forth , when the trick is just to put a little air pressure over the fuel in the tank, and the fuel will run up into the lift pump, through the pump, up to the injection pump, fill it up and out to the injectors,
    and you will be amazed, just how much air come out! Also, it is crazy how much air gets trapped in all those complicated mechanical gizmos of yester year, before electronics of
    today! Do this first, and see what happens! Before opening stuff up! At the very least you wil know, the system is full, and clear of air, and topped up! If it does not run, something is jammed. And if you have no air compressor, just rig up a tire tank, with a valve, and a hose!
    fill the tank to 80 lbs, and and just crack open the valve you rigged to the hose a little bit,
    to apply just a little pressure! Works great in the field! All the best! kennethzakaib607@gmail.com

      Heh. Probably so. Usually the winding can handle it, but the duty cycle drops. So if you crank it too much it overheats. I've been involved with many 6V to 12V conversions and we always used the old 6V starters. They didn't seem to mind the higher voltage.

    I can't count how many times I have worked on something I either picked up cheap, because it didn't work, or worked on someone else's machine that was horrible to use due to poor starting and more and how so much of it revolved around just awful starting circuit wiring issues.
    Crappy replacement ends that were corroded to death,
    Bad grounds connected to the first metal point they could hit (paper thin sheet metal usually) and not a major engine block or frame point.
    Rotten cables that are more copper oxides than conductive copper.
    Grossly undersized cables. Oddball (and old) 4 or 6 ga small vehicle cable (or solid core aluminum residential wire) for a big diesel or gas engine.
    Starters that are way past worn out internally to where they are running on nothing but their rotors riding on the fields due to the shaft bearing/bushing being totally gone.

    Very good I appreciate your honest and humble approach to your projects. The starter is probably pulling a lot of amps and to have it repaired is wise also thanks for trying to get the pump going . I work on fleet equipment and have never disassembled an injection pump . When it is determined the issue is the pump we just pull it and send it out . Most shops are not equipped to do that kind of repairs, so again thanks.

    After working on a ton of GM 6.2 pumps years ago I couldn’t imagine pulling this thing with the shaft left in the engine. And I was commenting on the ease of tearing the shaft seals early on in your vid without that “special tool”, then… I had to chuckle. Oddly enough, I went through 3 pumps without the tool and without tearing a seal until someone told me about them tearing. The very next pump, you guessed it. Torn seal. I still have those tools years later.

Costs nothing to check. But........your there & I'm here, so you have the birds-eye view of whats going on. Best of luck.....................

Required on major terminals on service entrances and breaker panels. I never knew about the carbon factor but it makes sense. Those same people that are concerned about stack terminals with it in between probably still think the world is flat. I stumbled over channel. You do a good job and are concise about what you’re talking about. I can’t believe some of the stuff people have the guts to put on TH-cam thinking they’re going to be a millionaire.

    That looks like the same engine on the 450 dozers and they spun a lot faster than that one does on 12 volts. I was around a mechanic changing out a unit injection pump on an old knuckle buster Cat 12 grader. He handed it to me and said to take it apart and hold it. I did for about 10 seconds and he said to put it back together. It wouldn't go back. He said the heat of my hand swelled the plunger that much BUT that unit was WORN OUT! there you go about crazy tolerances! Excellent description of the Roosa Master pump. A-PLUS!
