JD 450C Injector Pump

Post by Farmboy » Mon Aug 23, 2010 6:54 am

I recently ran out of fuel (going up steep hill).
Took the opportunity to pull and check fuel screen and then re-fill.
I pulled the left side cover in case I needed to crack the pump fill line, which turned out to not be necessary.
When I pulled the cover, I noticed a lot of fuel staining around the injector pump. When the machine started, I noticed there was a tiny spritz of fuel coming from around the bottom right side of the pump. I checked the injector line connections and they were tight. It sort of seems like it's coming from a place where maybe the pump joins together?
The machine runs pretty well but does run a little rough - not a miss - just a little rough.
Many thanks for advice.

Closer inspection showed the leak coming from where the injector line attaches. I was able to get it just a little tighter and it stopped. I need to check on how the connection is made and see if I can replace a washer or something.

Washers

There are washers on both sides of the injector lines. If you still have a problem you may want to dissassemble and clean or install new washers. I think that they are copper, but not sure.[/i]
