AAZ Injection Timing Issues

[matrick]

I've probably read this reply a dozen times and just processed that you do it without using a dial gauge. How exactly do you do it then?

I time it by ear.
On the edge of clackity.
 Make a mark.
 Move it and see.
 Then move it again.
 It couldn't hurt for you to advance it.
 If you don't like it move it back.
 I also have a pulse detector,.. so I can use a timing light and set it to 12 BTDC.

 According to Andrew your pump has the RPM advance too.
 So pulling it all the way doesn't just indicate sounds changes during timing advance.
He's more familiar with the 1.9 stuff.
 
Get clear fuel lines first.
To and from the pump.

Try adjusting the fuel mixture too, 12 mm wrench and long screw driver flat. That seems to smooth it out sometimes and raise or lower rpms a bit.
Once warmed up, it should idle and run with cold start pushed in set at .82 mm.
Mine did.

There is no 'mixture' adjustment on a diesel.  That is gasser thinking and does not apply to unthrottled diesels.  They always ingest as much air as they can.  Increasing the fuel will raise the rpms.

Thats what I meant, the screw that feeds more fuel. of course not air... I know its wide open on a diesel, So fuel mixture is maybe wrong term but you get the idea.

I assume you are talking about the max fuel screw.  That screw changes the scale of the entire fuel map and so affects both idle and the top of the pedal.  If the goal is to change the idle speed, then that is the wrong screw to use.  If the goal is to change the amount of fuel at a fully floored pedal then it is the correct screw to adjust and then idle needs to be adjusted afterward using the idle screw.
