d7e wont run need help

sounds like it's already decelerated to me. Something stuck in the linkage or governor or the rack in the pump.

Did this happen suddenly or after sitting up for a spell?

There isn't a problem with the oil pressure is there? I know some of the engines of that era won't deliver any fuel until oil pressure builds up enough to release a stop in the governor or injection pump.

the dozer has been setting for probably 5 to 8 years, the pressure gauge shows normal when its turning over and the oil pressure gauge goes all the way over,but im not gettin enough pressure to the injectors where i took the line lose and held my finger over,i have the throttle is wide open and i pulled the decelarator is pulled up but i pulled it up with my had,what does the decelarator work inside the pump? does anyone know a web site where you can look at a manual for free? thanks for the replies any help or suggestions wil be greatly appreciated

This is what I was getting at in my previous post, but being more of an operator than a mechanic I probably didn't phrase it very well. There is a mechanical restrictor of some type that prevents throttle opening much above idle until pressure..fuel or oil ( I have always thought oil) rises past a set point..this can be easily felt on a machine with a foot throttle as pedal travel is restricted to little more than cracking the governor open until the pressure rises. It's been a few years now....but as I recall the decelerator works the same way...you can crack the hand throttle open but the decel pedal will lie flat with no resistance regardless of the hand throttle position until the motor is up and running.
