Hi all
Cat 312b yr 2002 6sw00826
Pump was re-conditioned 300hrs ago approx. Recently taken out with engine to do an engine re-build. Now all back in and running the pump makes noise when operating certain functions. No noise with engine idling and operating all functions. Up revs to 5 and above I get bad noise when using bucket ram in and out and with 1 track. Swing and other track no noise. Stick and boom noise but less severe. That points I guess to an issue with one of the pumps. Its a dual variable piston pump Kawasaki Kv3. I've never heard a pump cavitate but the noise is a high pitch whine.
When holding bucket fully open or closed noise stops??. I know I didn't bleed the pump exactly as instructed but I've got oil coming out of all ports. The oil from the case drain filter is also clear. Could I still have air trapped in the pump? Or could the problem be after the pump. Should I drain down and reprime again. Whats a good method to do this?. Any ideas please.
