Thanks... How much should this screw go in from the stock setting? I turned it about 1/8th of a turn and it stopped. I saw smoke difference, but should it go in more? How far out do you guys have your external screws? Does this make a big difference? I know that I have changed these setting from the stock ones because the guy I bought this from wouldnt have played with it all and it had the plastic cover still on it.
To much black smoke is unburnt fuel = $. Go by your pyro. If the truck is 'stock' (no mods to exhaust or intake) turning up the pump will not really get you much except black smoke.
The IP could have been setup on request at the rebuilders, usually if bottomed out it is adviseable to turn it back 1/4 turn or 1-2 flats so as not to jam the internals. The screw is hard to turn in some cases so be careful.
Very true, I should probably back it off a hair, has everybody else on here done the same? The pump was never rebuilt by the previous owner, it has 85k miles on it. Beats me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif
