Fuel Injection Pump: Installation
- Remove plug on side of pump and add 1/2 pint engine oil for initial lubrication. Move throttle lever to full throttle stop. Vacuum valve rod should be adjusted so operating lever has 0.020" (.5 mm) clearance from lever stop. See Figure.
- Attach supporting holder to new pump and turn crankshaft to 24° BTDC. Using new gasket, install pump with shaft and flange marks aligned. See Fig 1.
