No Acceleration

[kb0jyl1]

Ok I am at a loss. I got my m109a3 running the other day. New fuel filters, fuel pump, diesel, bled all the air out and it was running fine. Came out a couple days later, and it was hard starting but started. BUT when I pushed down on the accelerator pedal, engine did NOT speed up, just sat at an idle. I have checked everything I can think of without pulling the IP. Engine starts right up with a push of the button. Idles fine, even moves in low side where I don't have to rev up the engine. What am I missing? Linkage is all adjusted also. Dang good running truck, just need to get more revs when pushing on the gas pedal.

Thanks

Steve

Did the fuel shutoff release all the way? Does the lever on the IP sit in the 7 o'clock position?

Yes and yes. Double checked those.

Thanks, that describes my problem. Will check the torsion spring on the operating shaft.
Will post results when I have them.
