Mike & Coreen,

You've gotta give it a tweek...you can always back things off again when
done....Do I look/sound like a money-spending speed freak?...I'm all for
ecnonomy, and efficiency!

The only time I want xs of power in my TD; is when I need it ...ie up a hill,
or more importantly when overtaking that smelly lorry.

What I altered was the diaphragm rotation...(I actually backed it off from
standard position).I also adjusted the spring tension on the same. To delay
slightly the extra fueling relative to start of turbo spool-up...in an effort
to create a 'leaner' mixture. Too far and you  move like a slug...and
conversely there's enough + available to have a Delorean like in 'Back to the
Future'

Note the point made by Loren..."I gained almost as much again [mpg] when I
turned
up the fuel delivery. I attributed it to spending less time at full
"throttle"
(yeah, our little lever isn't technically a throttle) when accelerating.
Even
though you are capable of using more fuel, you use it for less time."....

There is nothing worse [Safety/Embarrassing-wise] than pulling out to pass
that old fogey in front, whose earnt the right to call Hagar 'laddie'...and
finding youre the menace on the highway!
