problem starting the deuce.

[benand117]

The truck has been sitting a while, but I started it today and it immediately went up to the governor. But it still shut down with the engine Stop lever. Now it's a crank no start. Can't find anything in the tm's. Any ideas guys?

Covered many, many times. It is the fuel shut off rod on the IP that is sticking.

Gimpyrobb has posted many times with all the pictures.

Not in the TMs as far as I know.

I'm more worried about the 2500 rpm on start up without touching the throttle.

 

[Warthog]

That is the sticking rod. Do not start it again until you fix it.

 

[benand117]

Ok thanks. At least I have something to search for now. Thank .

 

[benand117]

Can anyone tell me what the proper fix is for this. I moved the lever back and forth and it started, but the problem remains. I believe the fuel rail is stuck.

 

[Warthog]

Have you searched for and read any of the posts that cover this?

It requires removal and cleaning of the shutoff rod.

 

[benand117]

Yes by the time stamps I had 22 hours to search. So that must mean all I found was whatthe problem was not what the specific fix is.

Take a look at this thread. I can't figure out how to make a link so copy and paste into google.

Since you did attempt to find the solution and had issues, I created a sticky from other peoples threads.

Very easy to do. Just DO NOT loose the "jesus" clip and the plunger sleeve pin (tit).

 

[benand117]

Thank you sir.

 

[benand117]

I do have one last question. After all is cleaned, should the run away problem be solved too?

 

[Warthog]

Yes. The fuel control rod sticks in the off or wide open position. When this happens the plunger sleeve is allowing more fuel into the hydraulic head and then to the injectors. Or no fuel at all.

When you have everything clean the lever on the rod should move freely.

Awesome. Thanks again.
