In this video we give the cambox and injection pumps for a 1942 WWII Scammell Pioneer's Gardner 6LW a health check and perform some surgery to get everything as it should be.

At last - a clear concise explanation of how to do this, by someone who clearly knows his stuff. Absolute magic. I've read how to do this several times, but seeing it done makes it much much clearer. I could watch this over and over.....and will be doing exactly that, thank you. Please do some more on the pump/cambox/governor/timing gubbins.

Thankyou for your comments. There will be a bit on the pump/cambox etc coming for the 6LXB currently under build but will certainly look at a more detailed video in the near future.

That's fantastic how the pump and pump timing machine sound just like the engine, I would like to hear that running a 8LXB pump and see if it sounds like my engine. Bang on adjustment, shes going to sound sweet.

A very informative video as a retired marine engineer I have worked on Gardner engines and others including a Doxford apposed piston two stroke.I have never seen a Gardner fuel pump recalibrated before it was very interesting.cheer,Roly🇬🇧

Hi Roly, glad you enjoyed the video, we will try to get some footage of it going back onto the engine and up and running soon.

Excellent video. You set up the pump for our 3LW and it's been excellent since. Thanks.

Brilliant always wondered how fuel injection pumps were set up. im a retired Marine diesel mechanic. Worked on lister JK and JP 2 cylinder up to 4 cylinder engines Dorman LDT and LBT 6cyl Kelvin Model R and RS6 od Gardner 😊6LX if the captain called in at our dockyard

[@MPSVintageDiesels]

Thankyou for your comment - There is a fair bit more to getting it all setup on one of these than shown in the video, but if there is enough interests and we have one in that I am not in a rush on we will cover the topic in more detail.

@MPSVintageDiesels looking forward to the next stage of the 6LXB rebuild

I was an engine builder and tester at Gardner.
Part of my job was Calibrating pumps, from memory if fuel delivery is out of tolerance at 1850 RPM by 3% in the measurement glass adjust plunger by slackening off quadrant clamping screw and rotate very slightly the control sleeve.
Clockwise increases fuel delivery and anticlockwise reduces it. when in tolerance, seal up quadrants with that special light grey Gardner paint.
