    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    No you cannot turn both nuts at the same time. This is where some people have messed up and you'll bust off the threaded shaft from the wedge plate. You have to use very thin wrenches and hold the inside nut so the shaft does not move and then loosen the outer jam nut. I know the TM says full...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    Myself I do not even worry about how many threads are showing. I mark the inner nut with a black magic marker so I can see how may flats I am turning it. While adjust fuel / temps you do not have to tighten up the outer jam nut. Just find the adjustment that keeps your Temps. down while under...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    The quarter thing was done when the trucks were still under control of Uncle Sam and I bet the FDC's were still hooked up. They did it so they did not have to cut the safety wire on the tin cover and twin nuts and get caught increasing the fuel. Now that you own the truck I do not think you will...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    I do not understand why someone would do the quarter thing on there own truck. Best thing is to bypass the FDC and add a pyrometer. From then on we do all the fuel adjusting from the main fuel control or twin nuts under the triangle cover. When we bypass the FDC the droop screw is not changing...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    [QUOTE=RoughCountryRam; It seems to be safe long term as many old school vets say this was done a lot during service. Yea they did not want there but's chewed out for cutting the saftey wire as it is a sure way of telling of tampering. The main fuel adjustment will give you more control over...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    You will be running a new line from finial fuel filter to the injection head. Some just loop the lines off the FDC back to the FDC so they can put it back together. I plug mine on the FDC. Then you have to deal with the return line on the front side of the Head. It still has to have a return to...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    LT. Dan You can do it. Bypass and see if you like it. They say you need to turn down the fuel after bypass but I have tweeked it a bit higher. A proper load test with boost gage and pyro then how and where you drive as in hills or like here in Fl. all most flat. Towing and hills lots of heat...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    Smoke cam red droop is yellow line.We can adjust them if you have a droop to decrease the fuel on the lower end if it smokes to much or you want to save fuel. Most of the time bypassing FDC will raise both main and droop. Need to lower droop to save fuel. IE Black smoke in there face. The...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    You want me to decide for you. OK we are bypassing. The double nut under the cover is the main fuel adjustment and what you want to play with and a pyro. Forget the quarter crap. Just bypass the FDC and see if you like the increase. It takes about 1/2 hour and everything you need is at NAPA...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    Yes you just need a thin wrench to hold the inner nut and just loosen the outer nut a bit. Mark the inner nut with black marker and turn it clockwise looking from front of truck. When done hold inner with thin and tighten outer. Did you bypass the FDC. most of the time that will give you an...

    Increase fuel decrease droop if FDC is bypassed buy you. Bypass FDC do not use quarters dont not adjust the FDC servo adjusting screw ( the one with the round cap and allen head on the end of the stud. If the FDC is there adjust the stud under the three bolt triangle cover. There is the stud...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    If you have been reading then you would have seen that most here feel that the FDC should be bypassed. The fuel should then be turned up at the main fuel adjustment stud. If you want fuel mixed with your oil then by all means leave the FDC working and quarters in place. Mods need to lock this...

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    If you don't want to waist fuel than get a boost and pyro keep 1200* and under and readjust droop screw if you have one. Your fuel might be to high if the main was brought up and the droop not lowered.

    how to turn up fuel...in pictures?

    This makes me wonder. Do you have a pic of what you speek? The threaded rod should have had two nuts and about 4 to 5 threads showing and you could turn the inner nut at least 4 full turns clockwise now showing maybe 8 threads and you drag truck would smoke!!
