It is in a gradall construction forklift. I have pics of the injection pump and wondering if I can turn it up a little.

Fuel screw is sort of right above the pump solenoid, sticking out of the back of the top cover. Same as 1st gen dodge trucks. Remove the seal, loosen the jam nut, turn the screw in 1/2 to 1 turn, readjust idle speed and high rpm speed. Easiest to see in the 3rd picture.

3rd pic, right below where the fuel return line makes the bends to be closer to the head, is the full power screw.

What if I go more than 1 turn? Runaway?

They can run away if turned up too far, yes. Also remember that the HP rating in equipment is usually set so that you don't break parts...

I would go 1 turn and see what happens.
Interesting to see a non-aneroid pump on a turbo engine. It should be quite snappy!

How do you be quite snappy when you weigh 20k+
