Fuel pump leak... ‘92 L300

Typical pump diesel, at least in the summer, often has 2-10% biodiesel. Officially, that shouldn't degrade rubber seals, but to be safe, I'd still insist on fluoroelastomer parts when buying a seal kit. The only drawback might be slightly higher cost.
 
I may have had an adhd rage moment while trying to put my IP cover back on and I un-did the fuel mix screw without measuring it (just a quick mark with a sharpie) I can get it close to where it was but not exactly. How screwed am I?I may also have done the same to the full throttle screw.

I have read the tuning tutorial. I am planning on just adjusting the fuel load screw until the engine idles at 750rpm (Don’t have an EGT installed yet was saving up for that). Then I was just going to try accelerating and hill climb and see if it behaves normally. (I’m normally pretty careful about pushing it anyway)

If you have to remove the top cover, try to leave the accelerator lever (with the coil springs) in place. The accelerator lever is mounted to a splined shaft, and its orientation relative to the splines changes how the accelerator pedal works. If you must remove the lever, mark it and the splined shaft so you can reassemble it correctly.

Nothing too bad will happen if you get it wrong, you'll just find that the engine will idle too fast or too slow (depending on which way out it is), and the engine might be suuuper sluggish. In that case remove the lever and reposition it until everything's back to normal.

There's a full rebuild thread, with pictures, here: http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/ve-injector-pump-rebuild-in-colour_topic17456.html

Best to read it in reverse order, and pay attention to the bits where they say "of course we measured this before disassembly". Replacing seals doesn't require quite this level of teardown, but it's good to know which bolts and adjusters you should avoid.

Any chance anyone made a copy of that teardown? It appears that the images links are broken and it could still be a good resource for people (*cough me *cough). Lol
