Well I only now just checked the actual timing. I suspect in the time I have owned it, it has never worked properly. The pump didn't respond to adjustments like other VE pumps I have messed with and has always has always been pretty flat on the topend power wise. Even with the compound turbos and shimmed governor its a dog in the higher rpms.
I am going to change the fuel filter tonight just to see (I have doubts, it was new and drove just like this). My only thought is that maybe he diesel cleaned something off the fuel tank and clogged the filter in short order. If that does not get me advance then I will make a adapter for a gauge and set the internal pressure. I suppose if that does not work I am in the market for another pump :-/
I dont think its a problem with the advance mechanism itself since the altitude compensator works perfectly.
