hey guys, yesterday i was driving along, and all of a sudden the pedal went real soft and revved to about 2200 and then dropped off and died. i fired it up again and it would not idle at all and if i even touch the throttle it goes up to about 2 grand and then hangs around for a bit and drops so fast i cant even react and hit the throttle. with it in gear and driving around its better, but still sticks bad sometimes and revs way up with no warning. if any one has any tips id apreciate it, i looked around lots on here and found some, but not lots of help.

Have you messed with your governor springs? It sounds like a problem with them if you ask me.

yeah! if the governor springs stud is bent up, causes weird problems!!!!

you might wanna look into it! when I worked on a buddys truck, i could see the stud had bent, and the springs all jammed up, not saying its your problem,,, but most likely its the governor assembly

 

thanks for the advise guys, one day ill get this motor figured out i think

 

check your throtle cable and linkage,also check to see if your throtle return springs are there,it may have broke.

 

thanks for the help guys, turns out the gov. spring stud is bent,

 

good thing ya found out what the deal was.

i just put a 4k gsk in my truck today and I LOVE IT.
Pulls hard to 3900 and keeps goin till approx. 4200!!
sounds awesome too and it like made it a totally different truck

 

hey, thats bad! now know of 3 pumps taht happened to, and another one it happened to cuz of messing around with them!

member zack... on here had that problem too, i gave him the instruccions on how to bend the stud back, but later on they bent again, and broke, so he ended up with a another reman pump!

id gladly help!
