I probably will when I get some free time but for the time being I need to be mobile.
Ive been out fiddling with the pump timing as advised here and I can make a difference to the way it runs, I can make it louder and rougher and harder to start. Ive got it set now where it seems sweetest, no misfire anymore and starting is still awkward id say that power wise it slightly more powerful now but not hugely. No matter where the pump is set there is no more power available. Its pulling more willingly on the flat but still dying on the hills.
Oh and by the way them bolts around the pump be 10mm![]()
Pump is a second hand unit off the bay. Ive had it turned all the way clockwise it took an age to start and sounded really rough when it did as if there were ball bearings in the inlet. It seems to sound sweetest and run with the most power about mid way between each extreme of adjustment but its still really flat. I suppose its possible that the 2nd injection pump is no better than the first.
The only adjustment i've made to this pump is timing via the gear position. The pump flange has never been off with me, and the nut that holds it on hasn't been loosened. As such the pump flange should still be in the right position relative to the pump internals.
Bacterial growth in the diesel can cause all sorts of odd problems. Just a thought.
