A fuel injection pump includes a plunger, a plunger barrel which supports the plunger, a body which houses the plunger and the plunger barrel, a plate which covers an opening formed on the body, a control lever turnably attached near the plate, and an adjuster bolt which abuts against the control lever to restrict turn of the control lever and is supported by a stay disposed on the plate.

A fuel injection pump (1) for a diesel engine (30), including: a control rack (20) an in a rack chamber (5) formed between a pump head (3) and a pump housing (2), and configured to adjust a fuel injection amount; a transmission shaft (49) rotatably supported by a transmission shaft hole (2C) formed in the pump housing; and a lubricating oil passage (2D) formed in the pump housing, and configured to pressure-feed lubricating oil between the transmission shaft and the transmission shaft hole. The transmission shaft has an oil passage (40) therein through which passage the lubricating oil pressure-fed to the lubricating oil passage partially passes, a first opening of the oil passage is communicated with the lubricating oil passage, and a second opening (42A) of the oil passage is formed on the outer circumferential surface of an upper portion of the transmission shaft, nearby the control rack.

An adjustable fuel plate device for a diesel fuel pump is disclosed. The adjustable fuel plate device can include a fuel plate to limit travel of a governor arm of a diesel fuel pump for a diesel engine. The adjustable fuel plate device can also include a translation mechanism to move the fuel plate relative to the governor arm. Additionally, the adjustable fuel plate device can include a control system coupleable to the translation mechanism to control movement of the fuel plate during operation of the engine.

A method for automatically operating a cam-driven pump is disclosed. The pump is monitored to determine whether a specified detachment condition or potential detachment of an actuator of the pump from a driving cam is occurring. The pump is operated in a minimal pressure holding mode to provide a minimal pressure within a working chamber of the pump so as to bias the actuator towards the cam if it is determined that the detachment condition is occurring.
