3-93. ON-ENGINE FUEL PUMP ADJUSTMENT (Contd)
LOCATION/ITEM
ACTION
REMARKS
23. Threaded stud (27)
a. Decrease leakage by turning
out until engine (1) tends to stall
after deceleration to high idle.
b. Turn in until deceleration is
increased 1-2 seconds. Lock
threaded stud (27) with jamnut
(28).
c. Recheck idle speed and
readjust as necessary.
NOTE
Engine power cannot be set accurately in any other way except on engine dynamometer.
Fuel pump adjustments must not be made on an engine when the engine power comes from
an estimate. Before any adjustments on the fuel pump are made, the following engine
performance data must be checked so that adjustments are justified.

running at full throttle and full
load, change fuel filter. Refer to
LO 9-2320-273-12 and LO 9-2320-
283-12. Also check other sources
of restriction. Use sight glass to
check for moving bubbles and pos-
sible gasket or other leaks. If air
bubbles are still seen after above
checks, check float valve in float
tank used for test. Fuel pump may
be pumping more fuel than float
valve will allow to pass into the
float tank.
