Jim: I'm much the same, if a pump wasn't working right, pulled it off and went to a injection specialist. Mine were either Farmall or Deere and usually Rossa Master, 1066 was the exception. He may chime in here, he has a small leak, near as I can understand a cap at back of pump. I expect it is a cap over a shaft end designed for disassembly of the pump. He asked me, and my concern something may be spring loaded behind that cap. I remember once driving a truck, we had been off for six weeks and truck was parked. (3306 Cat) When I went back in, boss called me first night, asked how the truck was working. I said it seems like someone swaped my 300 hp Cat for 150 hp. Took it to cat dealer and I told the service man it had to be fuel. I guess I didn't know much as they changed the throttle linkage and the air to air exchanger, total cost $1,700. I went to pick truck up, drove 2 miles and came back. I told them it was not fixed, and went home. 24 hours later I go back, it was fixed $3.45 gasket behind the pump timing cover. i never did ask, but I'll bet there was one H@!! of a dispute over that first bill. Since that, I've become much braver tackling diesel power problems. I will take covers off pumps, still wouldn't take one apart.
