[Vwdiesel] Back running well mostly

[fudny at aol.com]

Hello all, just picked up my replacement pump this morning and have it 
installed. Thanks all for the help. It took longer to recieve than I 
thought it would but now it's in and don't need to buy gas for now. I 
borrowed a new Jeep and got better milage that the pick up but still 
cost me 95 bucks for gas this week as opposed to 35 diesel.

One thing is my engine seems to be louder. The typical klatter seems to 
be higher pitched and louder. Take off power is different as with my 
old pump I could just slowly let the clutch out and go, this I need to 
throttle it up some. As well as idle driving noise seems louder but 
power seems ok. No bad smoking and starts fine. I did the pump without 
removing the timing belt I did have to loosen the cam pully to get the 
pump pully on. I locked the cam and pump on the correct timing marks 
and of course had the motor on TDC. I timed the pump by ear.

I'll spend sometime tomorrow and recheck the engine timing and fiddle 
with the pump timing as well. Also this pump is older than my old one 
it has just the throttle and no switches, looks a little older design. 
Maybe from a 1.5?

Any direction that might help is appreciated as always, you all were a 
big help in the original diagnostics and am learning.
