Nice video, i do a pump rebuild fore mine engine. But now it not respons on the trotle. So i have to figure out wat the problem is. Love the older diesel stuf. Keep the good things up. I gonne follow your project. Greeds frome holland.
Whereabouts you located? You do some great work, very methodical and precise. My kinna guru for sure. Edit* Denver, watching other videos and discovered thats where youre based out of. Im here in Oregon near portland if youre ever here for the swap meets or whatever then put the word out!
Hey! have you ever had the idle speed slowly increase in rpms on its own? mine initially would rev its self to 3k rpm. i changed the idle spring to a softer one, but its got less travel than the previous one. Doing this 'fixed' it for a short time, (did a 7 mile drive to MOT garage) but now its revving its self to 1200 rpm. If i slip the clutch to force the engine to slow down, it'l idle normally till i blip the gas, then it settles at 1200 again. Should i try a longer softer idle spring?
Hmm I actually have had different pumps do this in different capacities & to be honest have not gotten to the bottom of it! I had an NA pump that would bounce between actual idle & high idle seemingly on its own. My current mtdi pump will hang a touch when rev'd in neutral (as in go up, then back down to a high idle) ... Not sure about that one either. Where's your power screw setting at? The more of that setting you give it the touchier it gets about idling. The governor mod can have quite the shit effect on it as well if not done carefully.
@@OliverFetter max fuel is backed off basicly to the point where it'll idle and return and stay at idle. But then have no power say than an N/A diesel. This pump is made from 4 different pumps including the cam plate from a VP44. The more I think and research these pumps, the more I realise how much I've over looked when choosing parts. I think my issue is that I've stroked the pump more than the control leavers are designed for. I.e. I'm using a cam plate stroke of 3.2mm on leavers that originally had only a 2.4mm stroke cam. So I don't think they have enough throw from no fuel to full fuel. If that makes sence? Being A mad diesel scientist is hard sometimes lol. Not many people to bounce ideas off.
@@austinmaxi 😂😂 I feel you on that!! Not many people tinker that hard, or they run to Giles ASAP. I always come back to "what is the control collar doing?" To help me think about it. There's a lot going on but the bottom line is always more fuel if there's more spill port coverage. I'm using the TDI camplate & pump head. It has more lift but it returns to the same low point that the original rotor does, so no difference there. If anything you might not get as much potential "full throttle" fuel as pumps with longer lever throws (I don't actually know for sure if they are different also) *Just thinking out loud here* if my idle is creeping up it's because my control collar is too. At steady state idle the only things interacting are my pump settings, the governor (weights/rpm), the governor idle spring (the shorter one on the throttle linkage), and the springs on the lever stack. Is anything sticky or dirty? Is your pump clean inside? I've never changed what springs are in the lever stack & they always seem very soft to me. I don't have a hard answer for you but here's some ideas! I also wonder how much fuel level within the pump varies, and if that's enough to change the way the weights on the governor behave.
@@OliverFetter I made sure when i had the top off that everything was clean and free governor wise and the control leavers too. I have wondered whether the arm, attached to the throttle shaft that the governor spring set is attached to is too short.. a longer one would, I think.. allow the control leavers a bit more range.. (certainly when winding up the max fuel) looking through my parts I have a throttle shaft & governor spring set that has a longer arm to it, so I'll give that ago.. Thanks for your input dude! it really does make all the difference 🙏
Do you still have the link for the VE pump assembly thread? Thanks!

Good call!!
Thanks for these videos brother. Not many people have this knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Glad you find them helpful! I appreciate it
Nice, dude. Devil is in the details. These projects can eat your soul.
Your tenacity is the standard.
Keep it up!
Thank you! 😅 Your right about that for sure
Waiting for the test drive
Soon 🤘🤘
Sounfs sooo good man cant wait for tooning vids
Definitely coming soon!!
Glad you figured it out dude. Love the videos. Keep'em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
after all this effort, i think that in future you deserve a engine upgrade for some 1.9 T that you like
😂 I appreciate it.. maybe one day

Cheers to that 🍺Thank you. Best of luck with your project!!

Hey thanks 🌞 yes Denver/Colorado. Noted! Will do.
Yesss thats a good title!
What a great find man! Love this video so imformative
😁😁
Thank you!!
Hey man, I’ve just done this on my ve pump an it slowly increases revs when throttling is there anything I need to adjust as it won’t idle either?

What specifically did you do?
