Hi all,
New here.
Looking for help getting the life back into my old Greyhound grader. She has had a transplant with a WD6 motor many moons ago.
Some back ground.
I had the grader going well the day before, parked it up for the tow start next morning.
The next morning we towed that thing all over the place. It just didn't seem to run.
There none of the usual bellowing smoke, just a trickle. So I new it was getting fuel, just not enough.
When we stopped towing I noticed that it was actually firing, but not fast enough to keep it running.
There was no throttle response.
This leads me into thinking that a spring or some such has boken or come adrift in the governor.
It doesn't get a lot of work and doesn't run all that well but it did the job, so I don't want to spend a lot of money taking the pump to a specialist.
Cheapest option would be replacing the pump if I can find one. Any ideas on fixing or testing if it can be fixed with out spending big $ welcome.
