The IP in my '94 turbo IDI (absolutely stock) is dying. I began having some difficulty with hot restarts. I think that is one of the typical failure modes.
I have a spare pump. I think it was off my old 6.9 replaced by error. I thought the pump was bad when it turned out only to be the rubber seal at the inlet pipe. Anyway, the pump has been sitting, filled with Diesel Service. When the solenoid is energized, it seems to pump when I turn it by hand.
So, I am thinking of installing this pump on the '94 turbo IDI.
The question is--how much (if any) can I safely turn up the pump. I ask "safely", as I have no pyrometer installed.
I seem to remember 2 flats being a "safe" amount. But the pump is off a 6.9 and its going on a 7.3 w/ factory turbo.
Is there a "safe" amount?
