Injection pump shut of cable

[Gutts]

Hello
Thanks in advance for any info !
I just recently acquired a b7200 hst. It has lived a hard life . The cable that actuates the fuel shut off lever on the injection pup was frozen . I have only started the tractor a few times but to shut if off I have to lift the hood and reach in and move the lever by hand .
I removed the cable today . I freed it up . I see there is no return spring on the lever . The lever seems to move Offaly hard.
Should that lever be easy to move ? It is frozen ? Has anyone else had this issue ?

Yes it should move very easy, and the return spring is inside the cover.

Hello
Thanks for the response . Do you mean there is a spring inside the cover where the lever is ? The lever moves (by hand) quite hard . The only thing I know about injection pumps are that you don’t mess with them ! Lol.
Does the spring hold the lever to the run position or the stop position ? Maybe it needs a bit of lube and it will loosen up ? The tractor has been outside all its life , at least that’s the way it looks .
Thanks guys

You can safely take off the stop lever plate (4 bolts) and clean it and lube it to make it move freely.
That will not mess with the injection pump or any vital settings.

Well I went out Today look again at that lever . I put just a bit of marvel oil on it.i worked it back and forth for a bit . Applied more oil , worked it back and forth some more . It is still a bit hard to move to the off position. It is a bit easier to push the on position. I added a bit more oil . Tomorrow it will be better I hope !

If not drive the roll pin out replace the O-rings and clean the bore and shaft and it should be as good as new.
