2021 cat 299d3 idle issues

Nige said: Yes, but with #1 and #4 pistons rising and falling together then if you have the TDC mark on the flywheel lined up but the timing mark on the FIP is not in alignment and #4 is at TDC then rotate the engine 360 deg then magically #1 will be at TDC. I'd love to have the valve cover off to see to which cylinder compression stroke the FIP timing mark actually corresponds. Click to expand... They could have timing of injection set at number 4. It is possible, as they can do whatever the manufacturer wants. As you said, if it was set at number 4 then the valves would be rocking on number 1. I guess the point is to put the timing exactly as the manufacturer says at whatever cylinder they specify with both valves loose on that cylinder and the travelling companion cylinder at TDC also but with valves in overlap. If the cylinder is in the correct location with the flywheel pinned, then the marks have to align at the gear train end or there is a problem Houston. And all of this better be sorted out before the pump comes off cause if it wasn't, then its going to be a big timing job to do as you stated above. Simon C

Hey guys, finally got all of my gears, gaskets O-rings and all of the other parts I need and went to order the new pump from a reputable heavy equipment website that sells reman stuff for 1,300 and it’s sold out. I’m seeing Some on eBay and Amazon for about 900 from a different manufacturer. Has anyone had any experience with getting a pump from any of those two from a manufacture other than nismo

Last one we purchased off eBay for $900 ended up not working at all. Come to find out, some of the Chinese Kubota pumps spin in the opposite direction. Once installed, we were unable to get the pump to push any fuel to the rail even though it looked identical and had the correct P/N on the pump. Ended up buying a Cat pump, followed same install procedure and everything worked great.

It had 2400 hours. It needs one cap screw in the regulator but you should have 4 of those. If you are game I will sell it. DM me.
