So what makes you suspect problems with the pump?
Don't most big mechanical pumps lope until they're under full load? I thought that was just the nature of the beast. Pretty much every pulling truck lopes while spooling... but I will say they don't quite lope as much as your 7.3 does
We can't get the lope out of it and it doesn't free rev right. It's running fine under load but they want to look it over.

That's largely to do because the injector is so big in conjuction to the lack of a BIG timing advance assembly it's next to impossible to control the idle. It's basically fuel on fuel off repeatedly.. the lope. It can be brought under control but not easily. Much easier you control at higher rpm when the weights in the governor have some momentum behind them.
That's going to be the trick to getting this yellow wagon to idle somewhat under control is the perfect balance for weights on the AFr. Too light and they respond like uncontrollably. Too heavy and spool up becomes an issue and he will have a drowning affect once he leaves the line and it shifts one time.
If you will notice a 14liter+ engine does not have the problem of loping and spooling like a "small engine" does. And that's because they have a AFR weight assembly as big as a quart size paint can lid.
