Frequently Asked Questions (DB2 style pumps)
What does a rebuilt injection pump include ?
- All new o-rings, shaft seals, and gaskets
- Oversize or sleeved housing (as required) with new
advance piston
- Clean and refinish pump housing
- Updated governor weight retainer (No more flex-ring
failures !)
- Re-surface face cam as necessary
- All wear parts inspected and serviced as needed
- Complete testing and re-calibration on a Bacharach fuel
injection pump test stand
- Each injection pump is shipped with installation
guidelines and some clues to solving common pattern
failures
What are some common clues to pump failure ?
- Engine will not run or stalls due to plugged outlet
fitting. This is typically caused by a broken governor
weight retaining flex ring.
- External leaks which cause hard starting. Typical leakage
areas are the shaft seals, advance plunger, and throttle
shaft seals.
- Excessive smoke and poor driveability due to worn
injection pump housing. When the steel advance piston
wears out the aluminum housing, incorrect advance and
poor engine operation result.
What is the typical turn-around time to rebuild a pump ?
- The in-shop time for most pumps is about one week. In
cases where a pump must be sent out for additional
machining, additional time will be required. We will
contact you in the rare event that this is required.
