cat 3406b hard starting

ok thanks alot i will check rack travel and see if it does anything, yes tgat is a nice set up for fuel gage, i seen that plug in mine but didn't remove assuming it was a special thread that i wouldn't have anything to screw into it

 

i pulled that cover, turn key on and it moved a bit, i helped it tge rest of the way back and it fired up as it alkways did befor , half a revolution or touch more, it ideled a liitle higher than normal 800 for about 2 minutes now setted down to 600, is the problem that rack is sticking?

 

weather is real windy and wet here but it started up the best it has in days by moving that rack

 

ok thanks for all ur help , im pointed in the right direction now!

 

thanks wore out, that is exactly what i did, there is a place that rebuilds em , bench tests etc about an hr away from me,the truck is there now, he also will check snd or clean n rebuild timing advance unit aswell,cost will be 3,600 canadien dollers on the high side and 2,600 on the low side i was quoted, all depending on if it need 6 new plungers or not, at this point i reslly dont care i just want it repaired right! thanks for all ur help

 

yes i will forsure, probably wont be until later next week
