3-2. Fuel Pump Assembly
a. General.
(1) The fuel pump consists of a shut down
valve, pulsation damper, front drive cover, governor
plunger, throttle assembly, gear pump, governor spring
pack, filter screen cap, and tachometer drive.
(2) The gear pump section of the fuel pump
draws fuel from the fuel tank and delivers it, under
pressure, to the injector supply manifold under control of
the governing and metering sections of the fuel pump. In
this manner, the speed of the engine is controlled by the
fuel pump which, in turn, controls the supply of fuel to the
engine.
b. Removal.
(1) Remove pump fuel return line (fig. 3-4).
(2)
Remove fuel line from solenoid
shutdown valve to fuel supply manifold (fig. 3-5).
(3) Remove fuel pump mounting capscrews
and lockwashers and lift fuel pump from engine (fig. 3-
Figure 3-5. Fuel supply line disconnection.
(4)
Remove and discard buffer from
coupling.
c. Disassembly.
(1) Clean and mount.
(a) Clean outside of fuel pump thoroughly
