anybody got some pics or description to help a newbie adjust the fuel screw? put a new pump on an its running insanely rich, any help would be appreciated
-
did you set the pump timing? Did you set the pump timing with the advance knob pushed in?
n00b!!
-
nope, put it on at about the same spot as the previous pump and its been running pretty well its just super rich
i got a good friend with all the tools to set the timing, should i just go up an have him set it all for me?
-
A rich diesel just revs up. I'd say timing is off, probably retarded.
-
yup, same case as I.
you get unburnt fuel from the exhaust no matter how low the rpm right?
you can have air in the IP, a leak somewhere or timing issues.
or all of the above
-
I'll place a vote for retarted timing as well.
-
no just on hard accel, an if i open er up all the way it just pours black smoke out, it def makes cars dissapear! haha
it runs great, starts up perfect, but i only need to pull the lever out about half way for just a few min in the morning. it smoke a little bit right off idle an then if i stay in it, it starts pouring black smoke, i cant hit full throttle cause its black way before that haha
-
