After doing a few things I probably didn’t need to do immediately, I finally did get my 14B Toyaota running very well. Got rid of the excessive white smoke, idle is way down from the near 2000rpm on startup. She starts up with 3 seconds of cranking when cold.
HOWEVER, I am still not fully satisfied that the idle is correct. My Conventional gasoline engine experience is substantial and I am not afraid to go bare block and rebuild. On a diesel …it give me great trepidation since I am not experienced in injection pumps, injection timing, or even the process of ignition on this truck. I would be unable to bring this vehicle somewhere to undo the screw-ups I create so I am really looking for answers on what I can minimally look into to get this properly adjusted.
an optical tach is arriving soon so I’ll have more exacting information.
As on a conventional carb, there are mixture adjustment, Accelerator pump etc…. Are adjustments like this or the equivalent used on diesel Injection systems?
aside from the throttle speed adjustment screws for minimum idle and maximum engine speed, I must be missing something…
@mudgudgeon , @duncanrm
and @bj70bc took me a very long way to this point with their thoughts and I do thank them
