Dave, sounds like you're gaining on it. Needing three hours plugged in on a day like today is 100% normal and to be expected, nothing will ever change that. Look at the side of your injection pump. See the lower arm, which has the fuel control cable attached to it? Now, do you see a plunger-like thing to the rear of this arm? As you pull the cable back, the lower arm contacts that plunger. When the arm just contacts that plunger, you are in the start-up position, You should be able to feel the arm hit the plunger as you pull the cable, if your cable slides nice and free. When the cable is pulled to the shut-off position, the arm should depress that plunger into it's bore. Now, to check this, start the engine and place the thottle lever in the low idle position. Pull the cable back until the lower arm just contacts the plunger. At this point, your engine should speed up to 1900 RPM. If not, you can adjust the plunger either forward or backward by means of the two lock nuts on the outside of it's bore. Like Chris said, you need to learn the exact moment to push the cable back forward, depending on the temp. Sometimes you need to hold it in the start-up position for a few seconds, especially if the engine is very cold, sometimes pushing it forward right away helps. One thing does seem obvious, these engines with that particular pump are very difficult to restart right after a failed start.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
