I got a 6 cyl cummins in a pettibone fork lift, that has sat most of the winter. I noticed when I pulled it out of the barn, it just didn't feel like it had the power that it should have. I had to give it more than normal pedal to make her go.
Went to town, got all new filters, fuel and air, bleed the system ran just fine I thought. After about 5 minutes of idle running, it will up and die. It will crank over a few more revolutions before it will start, but once it starts, it idles fine. Go to give her some pedal to make it move, as soon as you let off the pedal, it will die. I've cracked open all the injectors, bleed it again, but no change. It still acts like its weak, just don't have the go to it like it should. Is this a sign the injection pump is weak?
