We also had many issues with the CDC and early CBC pumps also. I guess that's why they had so many updates - until they were discontinued.
That all being said, there are many still around, with very high hours, still working fine. It's too bad somebody hasn't picked up the slack and made some repair parts for them.
About being a perfectionist- there's nothing wrong with that. But, sending a pump to a certified pump shop does not guarantee such perfection. Any job is only as good as the person doing the work.
Most pump shops do do NOT upgrade the plastic weight-dampener rings in DB and JDB pumps unless specifically asked to do so. That if far from what I'd call "perfection." On cars and trucks, they have to - I guess because someone "dead on the road" is apt to complain more.
I don't claim that anybody can fix one. Nor would I claim anybody can repair a starter motor, wire a tractor, rebuild an engine, etc. Some cannot even change a spark plug without getting into trouble. Somebody who is a skilled mechanic should not fear working on an injection pump any more then many other mechanical component. There is NO magic involved. Main difference is - the service/repair informations is kept a bit more "secret" then for other things.
If you've got a pump that can be fixed with less then $40 in parts, then investing $10 in tools, and $50 in a tech manual - is a worthwhile investment - as compared to sending to a shop that will sometimes charge $700 for the exact same work on a flat-rate basis. Some people who like working on equipment also like learning new things - which also has a value.
