We havent run the engine in a while but last week before Elsa passed through we started the engine ran it for about 30mins to just do a quick systems check (Forward/Reverse, Starting, cooling etc).
Luckly we didnt have to start it when Elsa passed but yesterday I thought lets just give it a try if I had to start if everything would go as smooth as they should.
Well they didnt...
It seems the governor/throttle will not let me give it any throttle. I thought it was maybe the teleflex cables so I have disconnected them.
It feels like something is stoping it from allowing me give it any throttle. I can move the throttle back where it makes like a click that I think is maybe like a fuel shut off possition.
The engine does not have any electrical systems that I know that would be stopping it or sensors.
It is a Caterpilllar D343
Any one have any idea what / where i should be looking? or what maybe the cause / Fix?
Thanks so much!
