Rover pump on 1.6TD?

[8v-of-fury!]

Would you buy a working 300tdi pump on spec from a reputable source for $115 shipped?

Probably 4-6 of them.. haha

That price is fantastic. There is definitely a market as long as they aren't China clones.

Yeah no. this guy is a rover enthusiast so devoted that he insists on driving a foreign-market diesel version that he can hardly get parts for in this country.

I kinda understand. I have a land cruiser and i hear that toyota's diesel engines are quiet, efficient, and powerful. But people in the USA who want them are buying half-cuts of broken down hdj80 cruisers through canada for in excess of 10 grand. And toyota america cannot source parts for those engines. if it breaks down you better know someone in japan.

I'll probably let him know, after i have it, just how much he could get for those around here.

Well don't be telling him we'd be willing to pay a ton of money for them! ahjah

The fuel screw shifts the entire relationship between the accelerator and the output of the pump - IE if you turn the screw in to increase max fuel, you need to adjust the idle speed afterwards as it will have increased.

Huh. Can you explain the mechanism?

Here's a little anim gif experiment.

The red section tilts on the upper pivot and is adjusted by the full-load screw - it moves the lower pivot for the green and yellow sections.
The green section is controlled by the accelerator linkage.
The yellow section is controlled by the governor on the same pivot as the green.
There is a spring between the yellow and green sections.
The control-collar is cutaway to show the spill-port.

(Of course the full load is not adjusted while driving, but its action is shown.)

The control-collar is supposed to be semi-transparent to show the spill-port. :/

I may take that and make it a sticky or FAQ

If only the second image were the gif.. it'd be easier to understand.
