16svt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I take it you are talking about the excess fuel button? that should pop out as soon as the engine starts. I don't know any other was to get it back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 There will be no way to manually "pop out" the excess fuel button as it is on a latch. inside the fuel injection pump. As the previous poster said, it should pop out when the engine is started (it is connected to the fuel rack and allows it to reach an "over-fuel" position. The fuel pump governor returns the rack to the position into a "normal running" position). I used to restore vintage buses, many of which were AECs. A top tip would be to lubricate the rack with a couple of squirts from an oil can and do the same with the injection pump governor if the engine has not been run for some time.

Iain Crosbie Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 On my Militant (Mk3) the cold start is operated by pulling OUT the cold start button with the throttle pedal depressed. Once started it pops back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
