turn it slightly to the left - tilting top of it towards the engine block.


I know this cause I had to change my pump yesterday and had it right over when we first started it, was blowing more smoke than a hippy and running like a tractor. Sounded/smelt good. Unburnt diesel :D Turned it back the other way and now its fine.

There's two, I think, bolts mounting it to the timing assembly. But the holes are oval shaped, allowing for you to tilt it slightly either way.

At least I think thats what it was.... might have just been shoving the fuel in at the wrong time and not burning it all.... come to think of it :?

There is a screw on the pump which you need to turn... Someone should have in depth pics as how to do it.

Be careful though, as more fuel = more heat. Most people even after installing a turbo turn it around 1/4 turn and it is sufficient.

What type is the injector pump? Is it inline type which F65 had or the rotary type that the rocky's had?

You'll need a flat screw driver and 19mm spanner

Where the arm goes from the EDIC motor to the injector pump, there is a large screw with a lock nut. Using the screw driver, hold the screw from turning and loosen off the lock nut.
For more fuel, turn the screw out or anti-clockwise (as looking from the back of the engine). For less fuel, turn the screw in or clockwise. When finished, tighten locknut to prevent the screw from turning.

It is recommended that you go for test drives and watch for black smoke when the engine is under load. Excessive black smoke means too much fuel.

NOTE: you should adjust in small increments and mark or take note of original position.
WARNING: More fuel means more power but also higher combustion temps! Too much fuel can cause engine damage.
