5.
Connect No. 1 outlet of pump body to an
atomiser test rig and pump up to 30 atm (31
kgf/cm2) or 440 lbf/in2.
6.
Turn pump in normal direction of rotation as
shown on pump nameplate until it locks.
7.
In this position, slide pointer forward until it is
halfway over pump flange and check that timing
mark is central to slot in pointer (see Fig. N.11).
Where no timing tool is available, the fuel pump
timing may be checked as follows:
On the fuel pump rotor, inside the fuel pump are a
number of scribed lines, each one bearing an individual
letter. A timing circlip with a squared end is positioned
inside the pump and has to be set so that when the
appropriate scribed line on the fuel pump rotor is aligned
with the squared end of the timing circlip; this denotes
the static point of injection.
To set the timing circlip, it is necessary to remove
the pump from the engine and fix the position of the
circlip by connecting No. 1 cylinder outlet connection
(marked "W") to an atomiser tester and pump up to 30
atm (31 kgf,/cm2 or 440 Ibf/in2). Turn the pump by hand

in the normal direction of rotation until it "locks up". The
squared end of the circlip should now be adjusted until it
lines up with the letter "C" on the pump rotor.
To re-set the fuel timing the following procedure
should be adopted:
1.
Ensure that the fuel pump circlip is correctly
positioned as described previously.
2.
Ensure that the fuel pump is correctly fitted with
the
scribed
line
on
the
mounting
flange
coinciding with the mark on the back of the
timing case cover (see Fig. N.9).
3.
Position the crankshaft so that No. 1 piston is at
T.D.C. on compression stroke.
4.
Remove the collets, spring cap and spring from
one of the valves on No. 1 cylinder and allow the
valve to rest on the top of the piston. Care is
necessary
with
this
operation
as
the
consequences of a valve dropping into the
cylinder need not be described.
5.
With the aid of a clock gauge in contact with the
end of the valve now sitting on the No. 1 piston it
will be necessary to position the crankshaft so
that the piston will be at the correct "Static
Timing Position" (See Page B.11).
6.
Remove the inspection plate on the fuel pump
enabling the rotor to he seen.
7.
With No. 1 piston at the static timing point In its
compression stroke, the scribed line on the fuel
pump rotor marked C should align with the
squared end of the circlip (Refer to Fig. N.12).
If it does not, then the necessary adjustment
should he made by releasing the fuel pump,
securing setscrews and turning the fuel pump on
the slotted holes the required amount to bring
the respective timing letter into alignment with
the squared end of the timing circlip.
8.
When the fuel pump timing is correct, refit the
spring, spring cap and collets to the valve which
has been used for the timing check and refit the
pump
inspection
plate
and
timing
case
inspection plate. Re-seal the inspection plate.
Maximum Speed Setting
IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum speed screw seal
of the original fuel pump must not be broken or
tampered with in any way unless factory authority is
first obtained. Failure to do so may result in the
guarantee becoming void.
