Correction
With the pressure regulator by-pass line (line G, in Fig.
6-1-121) completely blocked, check the gear pump
against a 0.045 inch [11.1 43 mm] orifice installed in line
L.
The gear pump is acceptable if it delivers 80 to 120 psi
[552 to 827 kPal during this check.
If the gear pump delivers less than 80 psi [552 kPa],
check the fuel strainer for clogging end consequent
pump suction restriction and clean if necessary; the gear
pump must be replaced.
Correction
Check as follows:
(a) Align timing wheel mark and pointer.
(b) Install ST-790-5111 load cell with regulated air
pressure to give 380 lbs.
[172 kg] load.
Repeat the
clamping several times to assure that the setting of the
clamping load is correct.
