hitachi ex75ur – zexel 101492-0992 fuel pump issue

Walkerfarm · 2023-09-05 16:43

Hey wondering if anyone can offer advice and help. I have a hitachi ex75ur digger than ran low on fuel and had a loss in power. After cleaning both banjo bolts, clearing the fuel line from tank, replacing the fuel filter and bleeding the engine I got it running. The problem is the engine is now over running and running at full blast and about 50% more. It feels like its getting way to much diesel. Is there any way of reducing or adjusting this? digger - Hitachi ex75ur engine - Isuzu 4JG1NAA diesel pump - Zexel 101492 - 0992 Any help or advice gratefully received Ken

    fixed! loosen nuts 136 and 138, adjust 135 to set diesel flow and tighten up again happy days.

    Check Throttle Linkage: Ensure the throttle linkage is not stuck or binding, causing it to remain open. Inspect Injection Pump: Check for any issues with the Zexel injection pump, including stuck components or damaged parts that might be causing excessive fuel delivery. Adjustments: Some injection pumps have an adjustment screw for controlling fuel delivery. Consult the engine's service manual or a qualified diesel mechanic to properly adjust it if needed.

    That is known as a “buffer screw”.. it’s to keep the engine from surging at low idle.. But if it worked for u, great..

    How do you increase the fuel in this pump to give a few more hp? Which number do I turn 1/4 turn ?
