biggerlandy:
have you turned the pump up etc or is it all standard
trickydicky:
by the looks of it its been turned all over the place by the previouse owner i had the pump timing set by a diesel fitter but since then i have changed the cam belt and the timing was out before i started but now its spot on do you think it mite be the pump timing or pump settings.i know the pump has been messed whith there are screwdriver chip marks on the sliding section conected to the accelerator.
