Next message: bob england: "T&T: Perkins pump leak"
This injector pump has a "throttle body" on the side which contains three
O-Rings that wear out and allow air to enter system. I removed mine myself
and took to Diesel Injection Service in Louisville Ky to have them replaced.
Made a big differance in that the engines fire almost immediately now
instead of cranking for a bit. The tech said it was place for air to enter
the system. Just a happy customer bla bla bla
