Thanks for all the help and the links..
Right this van has me up the wall.After changing the fuel filter it start leaking like a tap and i could not get it to seal so i bought a new filter and housing complete unit of ebay fitted to day and it seems ok now thanks god.

Another thing i am worried about i turned the pump up on the top of the pump-But now am thinking has this been done before and how many times-
Is there any way i can set this back to as new or is it just trial and error
What happens if it turned up more than 2 turns.

Thanks

I can’t remember witch way to screw it in or out but we used to adjust them as far as we could with as much black smoke as we could get a way with and with it been a works van we adjusted the throttle stop to get more revs out of it but not recommend doing it to your van

I have always been told if you turn it more than 2 turns it will make the van run bad or not run at all.No smoke from this at all but i dont know how many time it been turned up or if at all,Was hoping they could be reset to as new and then i could go from there.

You should have paint on the nut and screw, if it doesn't match up it's been got at before.

The pump will have been setup originally on a test rig from what I’ve been told some settings are set as they assembled it but that maybe bulls@@t from when I had my mk3 di done when it was very underpowered after a exchange pump if it was mine I’d find out which way to increase the fuel and make it smoke and then back it off till you get a acceptable level of smoke Back when the mot smoke test at ministry test centres the 190 lwb and the A series to get them through the test we had to turn them down that much that they struggle to get out of the brake rollers as it really reduced the power .

Thats what am going to do as its the only way i can think of doing it.

k am lost with this i have changed the filter housing and filter "This came as a complete unit" Turned the pump up till started to get black smoke and turned it back abit,But something is still not right am thinking top could be the the injectors or the pump Is anyone local to the north west that could have a look at this for me.Thanks

Might be worth checking the valve clearances and timing first

If I remember correctly it’s mark up 12 degrees on the pump and 13 degrees in the gen Ford workshop manual that was on the early pump that had degrees marked on the pump drive the later one had a fork arrangement but I can’t remember how we set them up you either lined them up or offset them.
