Need of spring in hunting gear

1. The spring called buffer spring is incorporated in the hunting gear links to take up any excess movement beyond the maximum stroke of the pump. This extra movement is stored by the compressed spring and reset when hunting gear approaches the no-effect point to prevent the mechanical damage of the pump.
2. Also buffer spring will take up the shock movement of rudder due to heavy sea, thus preventing excessive hunting action of pump.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
