[QUOTE="bobcat743b, post: 110293, member: 17632"] when I was in nam back in 1967 I worked on dozers, such in cam ran bay. we were 3rd echelon mechanics so we were limited on what we could work on. we had one of those big 4 wheel larks that wasn't running right. one guy said he could fix it so he took the fuel injector pump off and worked on it. put it all back together and while several off us was standing by it he told the operator to crank it up. well it cranked and way she went and the way we went. that think sounded like a runaway train. the operator closed the fuel valve when he jumped down about 6 ft to the ground and was right behind us when thar she went. the darn think blew up but there wasn't hardly any oil spill. when the operator asked one of the older fellows how it could happen he said well apparently the guy did something wrong to the pump and when it started it went beyond wide open and although the fuel was shut off it was running so fast I tactually was sucking up the oil in the crankcase and when that ran out it blew up because of no lubrication. I don't know if that's true or not but it always has made a believer out of me when it comes to starting a diesel. whats ironic they could have waited 2/3 days and got a new pump. just seems they were always in a hurry back then. just glad your pump/motor is okay. good luck [/QUOTE]
