• Giles pump guys quick question for you by Justin on 10 Oct, 2006 22:11
• for those whom have purchased the infamous injection pumps from Giles what do you set the timing at on your diesels?
  
  also do you still use the cold start lever and if so when the vehicle is idle does it take much force to pull the cold start lever?
  
  thanks in advance

• i dont have a giles pump, but it doesnt take any force to pull the cold start lever when the engine is running.  sometimes the cable gets gummed up i suppose... i would use a graphite lube to loosen it up... oil just gets gummy after a while

• i just set my pump timing at 1 mm like the factory asks and doesnt really take much force to pull the cold start lever.

• On my Giles pump both the cold start advance and fast idle were dissabled possibly he's done the same to yours I don't know,call him!
