1 amusing the banjo and all alda lines are functioning properly what is the proper way to tune it
2 the turbo kkk and garret I have one of each about 14.5 psi boost should be a safe max I have also heard that you can put in a valve on the waste gate line to restrict flow to tune the psi any one heard of this
I am selling a custom set of valve adjustment wrenches for the 0m617
this kit comes with 2 wrenches 2 feeler gauges and a instructional manual
49.99 if interested email me I take paypal

In my case, I didn't see any smoke so I completely removed the ALDA and that is when I got a nice little puff.
I think every pump and engine is a little different, especially after the kind of miles, operating conditions, and care these engines see...

It's called a boost controller. Course on the KKK you just adjust it directly since it's easy.

Is your linkage hitting max stop? That should always be step 1 before messing with alda etc. X2 on getting the external boost controller for the garrett.

maxed out ALDA + full boost without black smoke means that the full load adjustment is too lean.
Theoretically the correct way is:
Simulate full boost on ALDA, ALDA adjustment maxed out. In case the ALDA is not leaking, pressurise it at 1.1 bar and keep the pressure.
Then test drive and check for black smoke at WOT.
Adjust max. delivery with full load adjustment until only a bit of black smoke is visible.
Connect every thing correctly and reduce ALDA a bit.
Done like that you should get the complete range of ALDA operation with max delivery (WOT and full ALDA enrichment) without (too much of) black smoke.

I noticed how an adjustment screw limits throttle movement...is this some sort of governor?
seems like this screw will limit WOT.

FI said that if you adjust that, the linkage will bind up inside the pump.

(05-29-2011, 01:50 AM)Hercules May be just luck!!! Turned throttle stop in up to three turns ,on 35 or more pumps with out any binding,will need to readj. vac. control to trans. Always recheck to be sure all is ok.
Improvements?

I have a spare IP sittin on the bench, so I pulled the side cover off and cycled the throttle movement a few times before making any adjustments.
Turned the throttle stop, a 1/2 turn at a time...cycling the throttle a few times during each adjustment.
I got a good 2 1/2 turns before It seemed to sense the slightest sort of lazy-return in the throttle linkage.

this might be a better question for someone more familiar w/the internals of our IPs...
Once I get sometime behind the wheel, the throttle-stop will be one of those items on my list to adjust
