injection pump setup

[pipefitter1]

I had the injection pump on my 1.6 na diesel rebuilt at a local shop (who tried to overcharge me) to which I won't return. I mounted it on engine, it will not idle unless I turn idle stop out over an inch. Also the engine is weak acting as if it is only at half throttle when wide open. It seems throttle shaft is on wrong part of spline. Could someone tell me how to properly set up the pump? It is the type that has 2 or 3 seperate springs on the throttle shaft.    Thanx

OK - so I take it you didn't take a digital pic of the fuel control lever before you handed the pump over?

Yeah - sounds like you might be off a spline on the shaft.  As far as the springs they're impossible to describe without a picture, and I don't have any with me.

Assuming they got the springs on right you could try indexing the lever on the shaft one notch.  You would want to lift the lever straight up and turn the shaft counter clock wise one notch while looking down on it.  There should be an indexing mark on the shaft and 3 on the lever.  The mark on my shaft lines up with the center mark on my lever.

Good luck.

i have found,,for reconnecting the springs,,that a piece of safety wire,tied in a loop at the end,and held with needle nose vise grips,is easier on you than any other method,,ive tried,,,i do have a spring stack sittin out in the garage,,ill try to snap a pic or 2,,not braggin,,but imust have had the top of my pump off 30 or 40 times since ive got my tdi goin in the end of january,,,,,,i could really do it blindfolded i think,,,,oh also,,i found a neet tool,,,get yerself one of those allen wrench sets that has the little ball on the end,,for obstructions,,i could get you the part number for the metric set, snap on,ive got that too in the garage,,,a set from like 3mm to 8 mm  from snapon was about 22$  right off the truck,,,,,,,,,,the obstruction end is handy for the two  5mm bolts on the "pump head" end,,that wayyou dont have to mess with the idle screw,or max rpm either,, great time saver,and has just enough angle toworkproperly,,i add a wrench to the lil end to increase leverage,,,,,ill try snappin some pics tonite,,try to post emup around 10 1030 pm eastern time
