Anyone with experience please help. I’m at a loss right now, I have a pc220-6. Bought it with a power issue, was hoping it was simple and a year later I’m out of ideas. Rebuilt the pump, 1st time didn’t put in new pc valve, valve was bad and blew apart when adjusting, put in a new valve, general equipment tested and all pressures and functions were good. Side note, one pc valve was replaced not the second one… get it home run it and it works good for a few hours. Now it’ll work good for a few hours and than lose 80% of power, thought it was injectors, put 6 new ones in, new fuel line. Still very erratic in when it works or doesn’t. Can go hours with great power and then suddenly will fight it for a while, seems like if I throttle down for a minute and then back up it’ll work for a bit. Put on two sets of filters thinking that could be the cause and it hasn't changed the outcomes, I don't believe it's bad fuel because I drained it and have added new with stabilizer. Engine idles fine and runs good on full throttle, it's when you do a function that the power is gone. I have no clue what else to try. THANKS FOR ANY HELP
A few things I think it could be is an injector pump. But would an injector pump work great and then suddenly not and a minute later work great again?
Could that second PC valve be sticking?
Thanks for any and all ideas and help.
