ok I have info to get some instructions for my next move. I took the side cover off and as I turn it over #3 is moving up and down #1 & #2 are stuck in the up position and the segments will not move side to side. They are stuck in the counterclockwise position. As I push in the lever the solenoid controls they will turn clockwise only about 1/16". I did get the pistons below the springs to drop but the springs still stayed in the up position.I did not take off the top fuel line connections to get to the delivery valves yet but I am thinking that is my next move to take them out and shoot some penetrating oil down from the top, just wanted to get some advise/instructions before going any further and do it right without doing any damage. I did slightly pry on the #1 segment to see if it would move any more but was afraid to put much pressure on it. I have read where someone had the segment off by a couple teeth from where it should be so I didn't want to cause it to slip a tooth. Is it the control rack that usually sticks or is it the pumping plungers sticking not letting the control rack turn them?
