    Cat 955k won’t start

    Update: So after further digging into things it appeared the fuel rack was stuck in the off position. I took the injection pump and governor off as an assembly. Opened up the governor and and freed up the rack. The rack seems to be moving freely until it sits for a few days and then won’t move...

    Cat 955k won’t start

    Hello, I’ve been through just about every related post on 955k starting issues and am not sure what the pursue next. A couple months ago it was running strong then all of a sudden puffed some black smoke and slowly died. I suspect it could have been bad fuel. Couldn’t get it to start back...
