I have just bought a Early 68 model ford 4000 diesel tractor, it has a CAV style pump ( best of my knowledge from what I read) It is a England built tractor. The problem is that at around 1400 rpm it starts to putter or miss, this continues up to max throttle. It does not seem to hurt the power but I would like to get it fixed. The tractor starts right off and idles just fine without any flutter. I have purchased fuel filters and I am replacing them tonight but is there anything else I need to look for or check?

I have looked in the board and have not found anything exactly like my problem.

Thanks for any help!

Jim

Your problem has been with the 4000 since the early days. Fords called it "flutter". Perkins had a similar problem which they called "iregular exhaust beat". It comes with the pump.

If you look at the point where the injector pipes fit to the pump body they should be long headed bango bolts. These are the anti-flutter valves which we had to go around to tractors and fit. If yours just have a plain head then you don't have the valves fitted.

The flutter will do no harm as it disappears under load.

Thanks for the info, the pump does have the caps/ bolts they are about 3/8 of an inch tall. Is there anything that can be done? Should I replace the flutter valves?

It might be worth it if you don't like the sound.

They should still be available from CNH but if you have a local diesel shop that works on Perkins engines or CAV pumps try them as well for a price comparison.
