Yes, but it's not that simple. Once taken apart it must be recalibrated and that can only be done accurately by qualified technicians on a test bench, and they cost upward of $20 large. The reason accurate calibration is so important is to assure the precise amount of fuel is delivered to each injector which assures even firing (detonation) pressures which assures (all other things being equal) even loading of the crankshaft, crankshaft bearings, rods, etc. In your case it may be cheaper to just purchase a new pump/governor assembly.Also if it is a stuck plunger from small debris,etc cant just that be taken apart ,cleaned and reassembled?
I would also test your fuel for bug contamination. I operate a 12 mW diesel-electric propulsion plant, and I have seen diesel bugs bring 16,000 HP diesel engines to their knees.
