Forgive me for starting at the basics: but you have the tools to time
the diesel pump and have it timed properly after installing?

Subject: Diesel pump!

HI:
I have an 82' Vanagon Diesel and am have a bad time with the injection
pump. The firsr one (from a running Jetta) started right up but as soon
as you move the accelerator it would die. Followed all the standard
Bosch trouble shooting procedures with no luck. Next pump (used but off
a running vanagon) would not start at all! Removing the fuel lines
showed it could not produce hardly any pressure. I have a used Jetta
turbo pump still to try that I was saving for a future project but,
wanted to check with the list first in case I forgot anything. I other
thing all my pumps have in common is that they all sat for about a year.
Also, when turning the pump by hand, should it turn easiely or hard?
Thanks...Rex
