Forum,
About to head north again to work on the HD3 Allis. Plan if needed to either clean injectors there or return home to have them cleaned by a reputable diesel tech. I mentioned to this tech that the 1965 HD3 smokes a lot when it first starts and then clears up. I do not believe this is a coolant issue. He said that I should advance the timing on the pump. He said over time gears wear and could cause a slight timing issue. The remedy is to carefully advance the timing on the pump. Question is which direction do I reset the timing if it has a clockwise rotation viewing from the shaft end of the pump? My guess it to rotate the pump in a counter clockwise rotation. Any and all thoughts are welcome.
