Have been working on a friends 350 Diesel. Have had head done and injectors checked. New main and Rod bearings. Timing has been check several times and is on. Valves set hot per spec. Starts and runs good to about 2/3 throttle then starts to sound like a skip.
When I took the injectors in I told them what the book called for and he said that didn't matter they go by the nozzle tip to set it.
Checked backlash on the pump drive to cam gear today and tightened up some but no change.
The owner had pump done some years ago with very little use after.
It seems to run better under load at full throttle. He didn't bring a drawbar for the two point hitch so all I can do is load it going up hill.
Someone told me maybe something sticking in the pump from lack of use and might just be better to run it. I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues or ideas I might be overlooking.
Have video but can't post here.
