Hello everybody, it's my first post here so I hope I'm doing everything correctly, pls don't feel offended. I hope in the future I can bring a modest contribution to the knowledge base of the forum, but now I'm in bad need of some help.
My problem is engine-related, but I didn't see any engine-specific section, so I'm posting it here since the engine is in a Cat 330B excavator (machine 3YR01089, eng. 13Z48066).
Has anybody ever performed the adjustment procedures for the 3306 engine's fuel injection pump governor? (inline-6, direct injection, in-line Cat fuel injection pump)
Same question goes for a 3304, which I'm guessing should be roughly the same, since it's a basically similar engine, only it's an inline-4.
I have (almost) all dedicated tools, I have access to SIS, I'm familiar with Cat equipment / been working on them since 2003, but I just can't get any conclusive results. At this point it's one of three cases:
1) either I am an idiot (which can never be 100% ruled out)
2) or there are some mistakes in the procedure described in SIS
3) OR, there is something so badly messed up in this governor, that it's a wonder that the engine still runs.
The procedure itself is rather long, and my problems are pretty complicated, so since I don't want to be annoying with a wall of text in my first post, I will leave it like this for now. If anybody thinks they can help, I will dive into details (which, I repeat, will be long and potentially boring, sorry in advance about that).
Many thanks in advance!
