[Vwdiesel] Black smoke - low power

[Jim Arnott]

So the question logically arises... Do I set the pump for the motor or
for the pump?  Vanagon spec (pump) .86mm +/- .02 or the Rabbit spec
(motor) .92mm

And repeating an earlier question, should I pin the pump pulley to
assure TDC? (Rotate back, zero, rotate to TDC, pin, adjust timing.) The
TDC notch is a quarter inch wide! Parallax makes it difficult to
determine just exactly when it's at TDC.
