Loud rattle after modding the plunger 1.6TD

Having donned my flame suit...IIRC reading that Giles removes most or all of the dynamic advance in a lot of his pumps; would that help?

I was under the impression that one of the critical things that makes Giles pumps so incredible is that he puts in more dynamic advance. He says to time them to a more retarded static position, IIRC from my reading, precisely because he's got the dynamic advance built in.

No I think it is the opposite, he builds a ton of dynamic advance into the pump. He also says a timing spec of .90-.95mm as the base timing is not needed as much because of it. Giles pretty much deletes the governor, if that is what you were thinking.

More, not less, dynamic advance does make sense and given Giles timing recommendations more understandable...thanks
