Hey All,
I'm running an unknown age rebuilt injector pump and new injectors. I don't have any smoke at all no matter how hard I run the truck or at high elevations. It also feels a little lethargic from what I remember it being with the previous pump before it died. I have a new fuel filter and all new fuel line, and the lift pump is and electric one.
So I am playing with the idea of turning up the pump about a flat to try and compensate for the age of the pump and get a little more umph out of the old beast. If I start seeing lots of smoke its going back down again.
I also plan on installing a pyrometer before doing this.
What are your thoughts? Would turning the pump up actually compensate for an older one? Am I wasting my time?
Thanks!
