This is the one with the Simms pump... (a previous owner said the original purchaser had the dealer convert it when new - don't know why)

At full RPM, flutters bad just after topping a hill, when the load lightens a bit. It has always done this a little, but really got bad this weekend.

Engine has ~ 5000 hrs, 7010 PD. Fuel filter is almost new. An AGCO dealer shop put injectors in just before I bought it, maybe 750 hrs ago? It has an electric lift pump, which is new, maybe 100 hours on it.

Nothing else has been done to this engine as far as I know. Turbo looks original.

Thanks,

Roscoe

Does it do it at any tempature? Or just when warm? My 7080 did the same thing when warm, adjusted the valves and it went away.

My guess....Simms governor are crude and wear out early.Bet that's what it takes to fix it.Ed would know.
