I have a 1962 Fordson super major 4 cylinder diesel engine that I've had running for some time but I've let it sit for a couple months. One day I tried to start it and it started but it would not rev and then died after further research I can see after taking the fuel lines off that I have diesel pumping out of the second and third injector Tower but not the first and fourth injector Tower.
to me this doesn't seem like a bleeding problem or are in a line problem because I've remove the lines and fuel must be getting to the injector pump to allow diesel to be injected out the second and third Tower but not the 1st and 4th.
I have taken the inspection with no off the front of the pump and I can see that the springs on all four plungers seem to be going all the way up and all the way down. There are no broken Springs or parts the acceleration rail moves back and forth like it should.
My question is what do I need to look at and what could possibly be wrong if only two of the four plungers are producing fuel at the injector? I have sprayed some nut Buster type of solution up into the top of the springs and still nothing. Any recommendations would be appreciated this tractor has less than 1600 hrs on it sat for many years and purr like a kitten with no smoke for a few months starting it every week or so. Now it will not run and only gets diesel fuel out of two out of the four plungers.
Thank you
