2 1/4 diesel how do i adjust the pump

(1/2) > >>

ross501:
i need to adjust the diesel pump to reduce the ammount of smoke from the exhaust i have re buit the engine and now just have a smoke problem due to the pump over fueling or not timmed correctly can anyone help please

rustprooflandyracer:
I took mine to a local diesel specialist, I thought it was a knackered pump because I was getting alot of black smoke. Expecially when the engine was put under pressure, Black smoke I believe indicates un-burn't fuel. Any way they said the timming slightly out which, due to the butter fly in the inlet manifold being set previously to allow more air to go to the servo. not actually on the pump. It cost me about £30 or so and now it runs as sweet as a nut.

Cheers Matt

Pop you location on your profile, probably have someone local to you that can be recommended

Miniman:
The CAV injection pump has its own automatic fuel adjustment built inside. It is not something you want to be playing with. Most of the time its all down to the Timing which is very hard to set. You have to move the pump by milimeters at a time which is not a quick job. You can get away with moving the pump 3 times then you have to slacken off the injector pipes to allow the tension off them. It is a good idea to go and get professional help. Just go to get the pump timing adjusted as some diesel specialist have been known to rip off people with landys told them the pump needed a rebuild when it did not and then been charged £250 +
