Ive got a 6LP_ste and it wont idle , i have to give it throttle to start the engine and sometimes even when your coming off plain so say 1500-1800 rpm she will shut down . I can get her to idle around 1000rpm but thats hard on the trany . Ive changed filters , swopped the primers over , ran it off a remote tank by-passing the racor , checked all the fuel lines and replaced the washers on the banjo bolts , checked the linkage on the governor , and now Im outta ideas .Anybody had the same problem or have any ideas ?:confused:
 
Hi zimnucks,
just off the top of my head it sounds like the injection pump fuel rack sticks, the idle screw is not adjusted or the idle damper is out of adjustment.
If you can post a couple photos of the injection pump i may be able to help you more.
