What is the breaking pressure setting for the Fordson Major with the 220 cid engine and the Simms vacuum governor pump.
I just finished a complete rebuild on the engine. Before the overhaul there was considerable blow-by from the vent on the
rocker arm cover because of the low compression, and it slobbered from the drain hole on the exhaust elbow. After the
overhaul there is no blow-by but it still slobbers a bit and it still produces light blue smoke. It doesn't start near as good as my
other Fordson Major which starts great, has a clear exhaust and does produce dark smoke when pulling hard.
I had the injectors done, but I'm thinking the pump may not be up-to-snuff and can't handle the breaking pressure of the
injectors.
