[Vwdiesel] Rebuilt IP / Engine Won't Start

[Tony and Lillie]

Did you rebuild the pump, or where was it rebuilt?

You shouldn't have to mess with any of the adjustments. I've had about 10 
rebuilt locally for customers and myself, and never *had* to mess with any 
adjustments at all. I did mess with the fuel screw on mine, to gain a bit of 
milage (also lost just a bit of power), but it was not necessary when 
getting the car running.
