fantastic stuff RLD, the measurements your thinking of are probably radians, if you post the numbers as you have them I can convert them for the rest of the readers to use as well. I'd be inclined to tune for 6600 but thats just me. by the way that 3300 ft = 1 kilometer. And I believe radians is the metric equivalent of degrees
I'd be most interested in seeing that info.
Oldster the big tank runs on its own pump. I just got a new vane pump to push unfiltered fuel through the heat exchanger up to the water separator and then on through the filters. Its not as neat a system as I once had but its more efficient this way. IE I designed it wrong, but it looked good. Then as I figured out what I was doing and corrected the flow chart it wasn't laid out as perfectly as original. But it works better. What can I say, maybe once I get all the bugs worked out of it I'll rebuild the tank to reflect all the changes I've made.
As far as timing equipment goes, I don't have any and its not in the budget, once I can afford the stuff then I'll see about doing a better job ob it. For now I'm going to have to work with what I've got. Nothing, and make the best of it.
I'll check my fuel connections but I'm pretty sure that engine wouldn't rev like that if I'd screwed it up, same for the injectors being stuck open or closed. Wouldn't sound as smooth as it does if I'd screwed the pooch.
Thanks for the diagram of what the wires do, that fuel control solenoid, whats that one. Cause if it does what it's name implies then it could have something to do with my issues. Might not be controlling the fuel correctly or something. Could you explain the operation of that solenoid a bit, what governs its actions and what its range of adjustment is. Thanks
Just got in from a damn long night out so I'll likely be incommunicado for bit after which I'm off to the shop to turn down that fuel.
Oh, one more thing. If that mark on the block indicates 8.5 and the mark on the IP is accurate, then it stands to reason that if I line em up I'll be at 8.5. I'm about 1/16 to the right of that mark on the block with the mark on the pump. If that means anything. I'm thinking that would indicate that I'm a tad ahead. But I don't know exactly how much. Hoping its in the 9.5 range.
