I own a IP related business, with a friend that owns a Diesel repair shop we provide systems out of OEM specs, Tunned Injection Systems for all aplications people search for, (not often CAT´s in our neighbourhood)
We never had a CAT IP at the shop in last 20 years,(they do not fail, very often problems can be dealt in installation) and 20 years ago i was not on the business, but this pumps are no diff from Bosch systems or Stanadyne just to name couple, Inline Pumps usually are build in 2 separate parts at least, the Pump and the Governor.
Most Inline Pumps including CAT´s need to be balanced(Injection timing between Cylinders , so they fire 120 degrees apart and not 123 as ex) that can only be done in a bench tester.
Most of them fuel calibration, as well, its possible to do it on the installation, but its advisable to take it at IP shop so it can be corrected to OEM specs.
For non diesel aquaited mechanics or hobyists, usually reports are same as u posted... no fuel out of all pipes, not firing, assembly dificulties and so on . Correction its not easy, if one has repaired critical systems as for exaple seals on the barels or plunguers , disconection of GOV from pump housing... rack seals .
Some CAT Inline pumps need to be bled plunguer by plunguer and they jerk off without the valve(injector) in the line. Foamy or bubling fuel when one crack the line is quite common, is very common. specially if the main galleries and piping was out for some reason, thats not a problem.
What i sugest before u go any further is checking all 6 valves(injectors) receive fuel, and bled them out, crack at the top of valve. Rack full fuel position, if u have doughts on GOV assembly, Push it by hand.
Crack the line just a bit for fuel to squeeze out, not completly open, foamy fuel may will come out, if needed u can remove valves from engine and check injection to atmosphere.
This is easy done in 1 hour by 2 gents. This procedure is the first we do in the bench test squedule, 1 to check for proper assembly , 2nd for unwanted leak detection.
Once u´re sure pump is injecting, only 2 problems to correct, if u have any of it, Pump Timing and Governor settings.
Besides rack movement from the governor there is no point chasing after idling or max RPM , CUT off and so on, that u can do after u fire the engine and set it at proper timming.
As i know CAT IP timming on 32/33/34/35 series engines is pretty much bullet prof, one locks the fly wheel with a special tool at the CYL 6 Fire position, lock the pump with the tool, and slide the pump in the gear, there are the fine timming but that is of no need for now.
Check the book if u have one, sometimes the place to use the tools difers , someting that does not differ is both locks must match.
And this procedures will alow u to get the engine firing, if the governor is not controlling rack properly the engine may not start due to lack of injection , thats why i mentioned to slide it by hand if needed.
Installing governors are a tricky business, some of them even have add ons that play critical roles like the Torq limit function, altitude compensation and so on.
First lets see if u can get the fuel out of injectors and fire the MF .
Hope it helps,
good luck
