Thanks…. You had me questioning it, but I knew I was heading to more advance.

It’s as upright as it will go now. There is no middle of the adjustment range. With it as upright as it is now, if I move back to E, it is retarding the timing.

Thanks!!! The truck has started every time today with only a bump of the starter, and I’m more than pleased with the performance, to say the least. I’ve increased the fuel, and set the idle at 900 rpm, and with 100 horsepower injectors, this truck does more than I need. I’m hoping to pick up...

Let me see if I understand you correctly. I advanced the timing on the gear to "C", and then had to advance the pump as far as I could, to get it to start, but you want me to retard the timing now? I think you are going backwards. As for the I/C vs non I/C for the timing of the pump, what is...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 41 Degrees this morning, and I made the slow walk out to the truck. I said a prayer, and then I cycled the pump one time, and it barely made one turn of the crank, until it fired up like it was summertime!!!!!!!! THANKS TO ALL THAT OFFERED ADVICE!!! NIsaacs...

It wouldn’t start this morning with ONLY the reduced pop pressure, so you may be right. You were definitely right on rhe pop pressure

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a difference in the cam in the 24 valve vs the 12 valve as to what timing is required. Most that I’ve talked to went 2 teeth advance. We’ll see if it starts tomorrow morning.

I just went out and cranked it a few times. It hit, but NOTHING. I cycled the pump 3 times and cranked it. NOTHING. I loosened the pump, and was able to move it less than 1/8" advance. The fuel line runs between the pump and the head and it hits, so I am very limited on how much it will...

Check valve will be here on Monday. As I was reading on different forums this morning, I saw one fairly common issue that is hard to detect, is a leak on the front pump seal on Bosch VE pumps, and some were new pumps. I installed the spring kit on the FASS to reduce the pressure to 11 psi...

I have not. Should it go in the fuel supply line between the FASS and the IP?

I'll be trying that this morning, if the rain holds off. Thanks!

Update on the continuing saga of.. "The truck won't start".............. Yesterday I installed a new set of 24 valve injectors from the Diesel Speed Shop, and they were set to VE pop pressure. While I was swapping them out, I chanced the o rings on the connector tubes, and the tubes showed...

I’ve had these pumps before on 12 valve engines, and they are very reliable, and really very simple. You can run these engines without a single wire on it. The only issue I’ve ever had was with an occasional leak. I have a Denny T fuel pin for this one, but haven’t installed it yet. I did...

Thanks!! I'll take a look. I ordered a set of injectors from the Diesel Speed Shop. I called several places on Friday, and this is the only place that returned my call and said they could definitely set the pop pressure on a new set. He said they will ship out tomorrow. I'm hopeful this...

I appreciate the information. That kinda makes sense, since the information I had said rhe C was for industrial/power plants, which normally don’t have intercoolers. I would be interested in a link to the YouTube video. Not sure how I’ve missed that. I’m burnt out from reading.. THANKS!!

Thanks... I hadn't even noticed that. I think I got it now...

This is a bit long, but bear with me............. Before I set the timing on the pump gear, I wanted to find out the difference between the E and the C stamped on the pump gear. These are the only 2 letters I have ever heard mentioned in the timing of the VE pump. The crank has a single O on...

I plugged the truck in last night, and we had 41 degrees in the night. This morning it started with one or two turns of the engine, and had almost no white smoke from the tailpipe. BUT.... without plugging it in, even on a 74 degree day, it takes a lot of cranking to get it to fire up, and you...

No chance at all. I used a grease pencil to highlight the timing marks, and set the pump gear on "C", instead of "E", which is a common. The VE pump uses a key on the tapered shaft to line it up. It can only go in the gear one way.

I really can’t believe these would have 370k. This truck runs too good to even think that, although a fresh set may be the way to go. I need my truck!!
