Title: anyone have pics of the cold start timing advance
Post by: jimfoo on May 24, 2008, 09:14:44 pm

I just want to make sure what type of clip is supposed to hold the linkage on but I can't find a pic of that side of the pump anywhere.

Why not send our pump gurus the question, I bet they know.

I tried a clip off the VNT linkage as it was a different type. I tied a string to it so I could see what happened if it came off. Went for a drive, smelled fuel and pulled over. I lifted up the string and there was only a small piece of the clip left, it had snapped into 3 pieces. I really don't know what's going on with the thing. Thanks for the pics. It took me a while to get them as my DSL seems screwed up these last two days as well.
