What have you guys done? Tried to score the 3 prong tool for the lock washer and havent had much success.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

Make one. Get a piece of flat bar steel, drill 3 holes in it, then tap some small bolts in there. Can't remember sizes though.
There you have it. A fuel pump adjusterupperer. If I can find mine, I'll post a pic up.

Is there much gain from doing this, beside laying down a smoke screen?

if you fit an EGT gauge and aim a mirror at the exhaust, you can finely tune the fuelling at full throttle for maximum safe power and zero smoke - so it enables you to strike the ideal balance between power and economy. it's a good idea to get your injectgors serviced first, so that your timing is as good as it can be.
