My SMD had the pump set up for +8% and I was wondering if you could give me an idea of how far I need to turn it in for stock fuel delivery. I was thinking of giving it one full turn in but thought you may have a better idea. I don't need all the smoke anymore and was told it may be stressing the head more than stock combustion pressures would. Thanks, Dan [Reply]   [No Email]

And always shut down on the diesel side . Switching back to gas only heats the head back up. Now as to how much to twist the screw do it a half turn at a time till ya feel your comfortable with the set . When i had my 450 D i had put center punch marks on the threads for several different settings and this was done while the pump was on the pump stand . I ran mine at around 75-80 Hp. for farming and for the pulls it was backed way out . Yea she did smoke while plowing as one neighbor said he knew how many rounds we had made in the field on a still day by the rings of smoke hanging in the air. [Reply]  [No Email]
