Default Symptoms of multi fuel injector pump adjustment.

If anyone can allaborate on this it would be great. I have a pyro installed pre turbo and I have made what I think is a good adjustment. Prior to adjustment I would get close to 1200 degrees on a fairly good pull. Know its about 1000 to 1100 deg. I understand what too much fuel will do. But has anyone encountered a lean condition of symptoms? I know if the pump is adjusted too lean it wont even start. However, as confident as I am, I was wondering if anyone has had failure or problems with a lean condition. Thanks.

Running a diesel engine too lean is impossible. You won't hurt anything by it, just won't have enough power and as you mentioned, hard starting.

Later,
Joe

Running on biofuels will lower the EGT and boost......
