Mechanical diesel injection fixup.

Where's it leaking? If you change the cover then quite a lot of settings change on the pump, but the seals are only O rings, so a cover gasket & changing them might fix it.

Here:

That was the sort of info I was looking for thanks. ;-)

So, is the 'O' ring under the throttle arm in underneath the cover (meaning you have to remove the cover to get to it) or in directly under the arm (where you might be able to change it from the top)?

I have previously removed such retaining nuts and not lost the shaft and contents inside things by drilling and tapping the shaft and putting in a fine retaining bolt etc. No good if it's super sprung loaded etc. ;-)

Ok and that was a thought I had previously.

And can they be bought on their own or part of a 'top end' service kit (along with the O rings etc)?

Understood. And what would the consequences be of altering such settings would you know please? I mean, I'm guessing it would still run but not as well etc? If I was able to cure the leak myself I'm guessing it wouldn't cost as much to get those settings re-set?

Understood. I'm pretty good with that sort of thing (you should see the insides of a Honda C50LA. A 3 speed automatic (centrifugal wet clutches) 50cc motorbike. Like opening up an oily sewing machine. I did the factory mod / recall / replacement stripdown myself as I didn't trust the local dealer to work cleanly enough.

Ah, ok thanks.

Could it be considered I've got little to lose if the local diesel place said they would fit me a new cover for £100 if I give it a go myself and get it wrong? I'm pretty confident (given a fair wind etc) I should be ok with your warnings in mind and the right gasket and O rings etc?

Diesel Bobs sell them IIRC. But they used to be a seperate part number, = =

you can also buy the pivot as it tends to wear, although the cover plate= =

was just as often the issue.

Top speed,fuelling & idle can all move a bit, but it's not going ti be =

much, make sure you reattach the stop control though!

Like that, but even fussier. It's not that complicated but the clearance= s =

are miniscule.

Wel in the worst case you can just give it to them, so long as you don't= =

overtighten it & warp the cover the it shouldn't cost anymore.

. Bookmarked.

Ok.

Ok. That's the electrical jobby?

Noted.

This is where a manual covering this pump would be nice as the torque settings would be stated and I have a baby wrench from doing motorbike stuff ready and waiting. That said, I have a pretty good 'feel' after

I think the only thing that would put me off would be if the parts (gasket kits etc) become disproportionally high compared with getting the job done professionally (who may just have the required gaskets loose etc).

Thanks again, T i m
