Hello All,
So this is my first thread and this is all new to me. I have some background in working with diesels on generators but not enough to tackle this.....lol. So I just recently purchased a CAT 951C with a 3304 no turbo. Starts up on first try, no unusual smoking, solid machine. It does have one issue that worries me a little. Every now and again it will throttle up on it's own. I can move the throttle down to shut off and it will shut off. What I normally do is throttle down to shut off and wait till it throttles down then put it back in idle. Sometimes it will be ok and sometimes it will throttle right back up. It happens sporadically but not very often. It seems like when it has a load on it, it rarely does it. No load, it does it more often. I haven't done anything to it yet or done any troubleshooting. The guy I bought it from knew of this problem and told me and he managed it the same way. But like I said it doesn't happen that often so it's manageable. I want to fix it so it doesn't turn into a bigger problem in the future. I've looked all over the internet and haven't come across much. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John
