[Vwdiesel] injector pump setup

[Pam & Doug Boes]

I was looking at turning down my max fuel screw on the turbo Caddy to
improve fuel mileage when I found out my throttle lever is reversed. The
idle screw is toward the front of the Caddy and the max fuel screw is toward
the head. The bracket that holds the cable is mounted on the head side of
the aneroid.

How difficult is switching the throttle lever to the proper position with
the cable toward the front of the Caddy? Can it be as simple as remove the
lever, switch the cable bracket and reinstall the lever in the correct
position? I expect that the toothed rod coming out of the injector pump
needs to be rotated 180 before reinstalling the lever.

What is the instrument called that is used to set the idle speed and the max
fuel speed. It measures the fuel pulses as the injector pump sends fuel to
the cylinders.

Can this reversed throttle cable position affect the mileage I'm getting?
The Bentley says it should be mid-40s, I'm getting high 30s. The Bentley
also says the mid-40 range is for temperatures above freezing which we
haven't had much of lately.
