OK...I went to the local spinners and weavers meeting tonight to pick up my wife and the guy who sold Penelope to me had a present for me. It was the original manual (less the cover). After much reading I think I know how to set the rack on the fuel pump. See if you can follow me and if I'm right.
The fuel pump on Penelope is a 12/2 fuel pump as the following section shows.
"To Adjust Fuel Pump Linkage (12/2 & 16/2 Engine)
Fuel pumps are calibrated as indicated by two centre punch marks on the fuel pump rack. When these are equally disposed about the rack facings on the pump body, the pump is delivering fuel corresponding to full power. The procedure for adjustment is as follows:-
1 Ensure that both injectors are working satisfactorily.
2 Ensure that compression on both cylinders is satisfactory, if not engine should be decarbonised.
3 Remover split pin from joint pin and remove joint pin from upper governor connecting rod fork on right hand fuel pump, looking at engine from governor linkage side. Pull back governor connecting rod so tht upper fork clears governor upper lever."
That much is pretty straight forward. Here comes the meat!
"4 Loosen Locknut on governor connecting rod and adjust fork by screwing up or down so that on re-assembly of governor fork onto upper lever and after insertion of joint pin, it is possible to lift Cut-off hand lever, to fullest extent, without straining linkage and further when in this position, by applying pressure to the end of the fuel pump rack, a slight movement is obtainable."
It goes on to describe doing the same thing to the other pump.
It should be possible using this method, to find out if the rack was inserted in the fuel pump properly by doing this procedure after re-assembly. Shouldn't it?
