1.  The Full Load Stop screw is turned Clockwise (in) to increase fueling.
Ususlly, 1/8 turn will suffice, and certainly no more that 1/4 turn.  Note:
Must remove the stainless steel anti-tamper sleeve that is spot welded to
the screw to allow adjustment in.  When I did mine I removed the screw (the
pump body will drain diesel), put it in a vice (don't damage the "O" ring),
and cold chiseled it off.  Hint:  Count the number of turns it takes to
remove the screw.  Then install it the same number of turns for the same
initial setting.

2.  ???

3.  I guesss somewhere around 50 - 60 h.p. (the Ecodoesel got 58 - 59 and
does not have the boost enrichment diaphram on the pump.  Compression
figures for the TD are the same as the NA: 500 new, 410 min? and no more
than 75 psi variance?

4. ???

Todays selection of Q's are...

1. Which direction do I turn the pump 'fuelling' screw to adjust max
fuelling - clockwise of anti-cw?
2. Is there an archive for this list that I can search?
3. If I put a TD engine in my vanagon but run it with a non-td fuel &
exhaust system, what power should I expect?  Anyone know the compression
figures for the 1.6TD engine - can't find them in my Bentley manual - not
surprising as the engine was never an option in NAmerica.
4. Anyone got any leads on a good NA or TD engine suitable for a vanagon
i.e. known good oil pressure & compression pressure - ideally, not too far
from SE Michigan

Thanks... steve
