bobcat 743 fuel rack stuck

[[email protected]]

I have a bobcat 743 mid 80s, has the manual fuel shutoff cable, the fuel rack is stuck in the closed position. I removed the fuel shutoff from the side of the block but the fuel rack will not move. I tried taking the injection pump out but it will not come out because I believe the fuel rack has to be in the open position before it will lift out. Any suggestions or ideas on how to get this rack unstuck? it is a V1702 engine thanks

Does your fuel rack still move? if it's stuck, closed, you will get no fuel out of the pump.

Sadly, it is common for engines that have been sitting for the plungers or rack to lock up. Some times you can free them up with WD40, other times the elements have actually rusted due to fuel contamination, and need replacing.
