Any timing marks or pointers on the pump flange or engine?On acceleration, its a recon injector pump i put on friday to solve some other problems.
Took it for a run this afternoon, went fine getting there, plenty of acceleration but black/grey smoke. On the way home theres acceleration in 4th but no great power.

Take it this is 2.25 diesel?
I think that would be fine, youll soon get a feel for it. The old perkins etc engined tracs have DPA pumps and I fine adjust them by ear, mate works at ag. machinery place and they do the same wit older stuff. Main thing to get the best life out of your pump is to be really careful about fuel filtration and water traps. These pumps run for ever if the fuel is perfectly clean, grit and water kills em quicksmart tho. Well worth changing you fuel filt. and cleaning out any traps or sedimenters when you fit a pump. Best of luck, keep us posted.Its a recon pump hence why i want to get it right!
I'll give that a go in the morning, are we talking 1mm at a time sort of movement?
black smoke isnt reduced by altering fuel timing,injectors or air shortage,adjusting pump opposite to arrow direction advances pump ,with arrow retards pump a retarded pump will often give white smokeEvening all,
Which way is it that i turn the injector pump to reduce the amount of black smoke?
I've tried looking online but couldnt find anything!

yes , cam timing will be retartded advancing pump wont help that ,cam timing is critical on those engines,white smoke is unburnt fuel ,can be a dodgy injector but engine would sound like its running on 3I presume you mean the arrow on the label on the pump?
I've got the pump as far as possible advanced but the white smoke still persists.
What I would expect to see with this type of engine is a bit of white smoke on startup, and a little stream of black smoke under hard acceleration. If youre getting a lot of smoke with warm engine and youve tried fine advance and retard adjustment I would wonder if the smoke is caused by burning oil?I've tried moving it in both directions.
In one place it started off with very little smoke, but then it just started billowing out again.
It is white smoke, no matter where the pump is positioned.
It also seems to have no power at all when i try and move it up and down the drive.

Old diesels, especially worn ones, do tend to smoke a bit, wouldnt worry too much if yu can time it so it idles and revs smooth thruogh the rev range. Obviously if its an embaressment in public yo will have to do something!
its a shame you moved it ,a worn pump can give a retarded issue ,sometimes another pump will be better ,but to fix them permanently ive had to set cam timing ,get rid of play in skew gear under pump and fit reset pump and injectors ,oil would be blueish smokeI did put it back to where it was with black smoke before, but it wasnt smoking black anymore.
I shall have a look at the fly wheel
Agree that theyre very sensitve to cam timing, what do you think caused the cam timing to go out? Chain isues?its a shame you moved it ,a worn pump can give a retarded issue ,sometimes another pump will be better ,but to fix them permanently ive had to set cam timing ,get rid of play in skew gear under pump and fit reset pump and injectors ,oil would be blueish smoke
