Have a go with the turning the diaphram in the injector pump through 60 degrees and see what happens.
I think Seph is right Mikee, you should be shortening the actuator rod so the gate opens more. Not something I've had a play with yet. :wink:

But check the turbo first !
No point messing with the fuelling until you know the rest of the system is working properly.

if you take a look at diaphram inside fuel pump as you stand at wing see where your little mark is try putting at about 3oclock and then try this will increase the rate of fuel flow 3oclock is about full open then just adjust back or forward a little till your happy if your smokin to much under load go to the lock nut under the cap of the top cover to the fuel pump lossen and adjust up or down according to smoke level but always mark stuff befor so you know where to put back if you not happy
be carefull not to overfuel as your engine cant take it for to long without fitting correct exhaust ect to get max gas flow and youl end up stressing your engine and exhaust very quickly also take actuator rod off and turn inwards if not seiezed and be carefull to grip well as you dont want to turn the insides of the actuator turn in about 4 turns at a time and check you might find you run out of rod befor your happy you can shorten but only do about 3mm at time this all should increase performance there are other things you can do but there me secret secrets regards colin hope this helps

Be careful cos' not all the popmarks are in the 12 o'clock position on the diaphrams, better to rotate it a maximum of 90 degrees from where you find it. :wink:
