OK it was a stuck governer rack in the pump. I didn't know what a governer rack was until I got the pump out and saw it. WD 40 and a rubber hammer freed it up. The pump is back in but the "keeper" pin is difficult to get back in place. I will take some needle nose pliers that have bent end back to help reinstall the pin. Any other suggestions on getting the pin back in with out dropping it into the void behind the pump? Ths pin fits through the shaft that is on the governor rack.
Yanmar 1500D Engine Runs Full Speed

I was at my lake house this weekend and put the pin back where it belonged in the linkage to the governor rack in the access port that has the breather hose on it. I hooked a thin wire around the pin before trying to install it so that if I dropped it I would not have to remove the pump to hopefully retrieve it from inside the block. Then I grabbed the pin with straight forceps that were 5” long the kind with the ratchet hold close. (I think 8” curved forceps would have been better but I could not find them locally.) The 5” forceps worked well and the pin went right in. I then removed the safety wire I had installed and then unlocked the forceps releasing the pin. After my usual routine of bleeding the air cock on the injector pump while cranking then closing, removing the injectors from the top of the engine and cranking until a solid stream of fuel then reinstalling the injector then bleeding the air out of the air bleed cocks on the top of the cylinders while cranking then closing. She stared right up.
The culprit that started this 1-1/2 year fix was the throw out bearing that was installed without a carrier (previous owner) which caused lots of smoke, lots of high pitched squeals, and a lock up of the clutch, After the tractor split and a new clutch, clutch plate and installing a new bearing with a new carrier and solving the run-away problem, my Yanmar 1500D runs well and the drive train works great.
Thanks for all the help from the Forum.

Wow that seemed like a lot of work!
But you should not have to remove injectors to bleed it. When i change the filter i just do the 2 screw on the filter housing then the one at the pump once all air is out there there should not be any air anywhere else in the sysetem, and if there is you can just loosen the line on the injectors.
