Introduction
This Special Instruction describes two procedures for improving fuel priming pump performance on machines listed above equipped with certain 3500 engines.The first procedure is referred to as the "Good" solution and is most likely to be performed in the field. Refer to Table 1 for the "Good" solution parts list.The second procedure is referred to as the "Better" solution and is most likely to be performed during engine rebuild. Refer to Table 2 for the "Better" solution parts list.Parts Needed
