Before you start

  • When removing the injection pump from its housing make sure that spacer 2 is not dropped into the oil sump; injection pump operation will be impaired if the spacer is not installed.

Procedure

  1. Fit tappets 3 so that screw 6 is introduced into guide 4.
  2. Tighten screw 6 to 9 Nm and check that the tappet is free to move downwards.
  3. Fit pad 2 into the tappet so that recess B points downwards.
  4. Fit the injection pump into the crankcase complete with gasket, positioning flow control 1 in the fork of lever 5 in the maximum flow position.
